"The left is getting the banned back together. "

They're on a mission from... Gaia?

Me: I.... think I'll go watch some Song of the South.

joncelli: Holy shit, is that still for sale? I thought Disney had it locked up in a strongbox in a vault under a rock.

For sale? Hahahahaha. You can find everything on the intrawebz, if you knows where ta look.

Wonder what goes on in the wee hours on the ONT?

Woo!

Kreplach: I have never seen anything like this in my life, this is some seriously scary shit at how rapidly this all went down.

Almost like they were waiting for the church shooter!

I'd like to think we are seeing the last, manic, thrashing death throes of the insanity of Political Correctness.

I'd settle for this current "discussion" being an aberrant instance rather than pattern indicative of future struggles.

I get [banned].

...

Hmm. That wasn't as snappy as it sounded in my head.

I.... think I'll go watch some Song of the South.

Vic! Vic! It worked again.

Morning Thread Posted by: Andy at 07:18 AM

Hey! I'm in the middle of Vic News! Yay! I don't have to go searching for it.

*perks up considerably*

Morning, Glories!

* stumbles in blearily, looks around *

The all-purpose overnight and into the morning thread again?

* stumbles away, looking for coffee *

Who's that guy who tweeted about Ace? I think I've heard the name....

I just watched these. Must rant. A thread about CNN wanting to topple the Jefferson Memorial seems related enough.

Some ProgressiveBS guy snipes at Ted Cruz for saying gun control is hitting what you aim at *gasp*

Some CNN gal tries to trip up a good ol' Southern boy* who happens to be black and respects history. (*non-racist Southern jargon)

CNN gets cussed out by vendor of Confederacy stuff. Speaks truth: "You guys are stirring [bleep] up!"

(All clips c/o Chicks on the Right, btw)

I don't watch this stuff except when clips get posted on websites where I travel or channels to which I subscribe. And often skip those as just too insipid.

I know the LaughingStock Media is doing this kind of pathetic propaganda and ambush interviews all the time, I just choose not to be exposed to it much as a rule. Usually they're just annoying, doing what one expects. Seen one, you've seen 'em all.

But their usual level of stupid, combined with the incredible gormlessness of this New Civil War they're fomenting (doing just what the Charleston killer wanted) made these especially hard to watch.

The non-newsfolk, Cruz, the student, the righteously indignant store owner who "refused to identify himself" are fine to see.

But it's hard to suffer through the idiot spew in these clips for those gems. I had to keep hitting pause on the bobbleheads because, as I watched them, I kept getting interrupted by streams of f-words and other hate speech erupting from my mouth. They've reduced me to that.

Gonna need a bigger rage-meter.

blaster: Is it just me or does this site crash Safari on iPad like crazy?

NCKate: iPhone hates the site as well.

We Have Officially Reached Peak Leftism (did not click yet)

If only!

Hiya, dump threaders.

the real ch3: Good. F--- Whole Foods and anyone that shops there

Thanks.

Since that seemed unduly harsh, I read the article. What did the "inspectors" really find?

"They found every label was inaccurate, with many overcharging consumers."

Note the careful weaseling. "Every label was inaccurate." The weight of vegetable products could vary with watering, evaporation, even growth (as in the case of still-growing sprouts). And a scale, yes, may become a little off between calibrations. Lots of possibilities for relatively insignificant error.

That every label, when the inspector weighed them, is not the same as when they were packaged is just not surprising. It's an appoximation. For a control, do the same thing at all other grocers. Oh, wait, they did that and found the same thing 77% of the time.

The telling part would seem to be "many overcharging." Not most products. Many. So, the majority were undercharging? By how much overcharged is not said, either.

And was this taken up with the company's management as a possible oversight before smearing their rep in public?

This smells like a witch-hunt to me. But most things do.

Gregory of Yardale: "OMG, how could you move out to ... cow country?" from the poor saps back in Maryland.

The correct reply is: "It's cattle country."

When you go full native.

...

Which brings up a story I've told before but anyway.

Back in her high school days, daughter brought a couple of silly mallrat friends out to the ranch.

This is in an area where "Eat more beef" is the most common front license plate or bumper sticker, right?

One of the pajama boys looked out at the black angus grazing in the pasture and asked, "So, do you milk those cows?"

"Oh, sure," I told him. "In fact, you see that big black one with just one big udder? 'Specially gentle. You should go out and milk that one right now."

Alas, pajama boy declined, but YouTube didn't exist yet in those days anyway.

Don Featherstone - We will never see the like of his genius again.

Posted by: That Relatively Cheap Guy in Town Working on Your Phone

Funny thing is, screen went out a while back and I actually was able to apply some "concussive maintenance" to restore it. Meant to get a new one before that happened permanently, but oops.

Since I don't use my cell for business or email, there's not a lot of personal secrets on there. The info I'd be most worried about is the AoSHQ Platinum passwords...

---

And, for the record...

Rainbow flags are symbols of bigotry and oppression, they are triggering, and should be banned and burned!

Holy mackerel! I'm caught up on comments and have nothing to contribute. Mightz well go back to bed.

My old cell's screen failed.

I took it to the Company and asked, "Can you transfer data to a new cell without the screen?"

I was told, No. But there's a guy in town who may, relatively cheaply, fix that.

So, he has my cell and will work on it this morning.

I immediately got to thinking about what info is on there that I don't want in anybody else's hands. Not much, but still...

If he goes snooping for pr0n, though, he's likely to be disappointed when he encounters "Secrets of the Bible, season 2, episode 1, The early life of Jesus." Hot stuff!

Morning, Glories.

Thanks again, Vic, for the wake-up blast!

Here's what I think about all that:
___

Flatworm invasion: Can we at least trust that it takes them longer to migrate than the killer bees?
___

White House okays ransoms: No surprise that Obama would make things more comfy & profitable for his buddies.

Also, so much simpler than sending in Marines!

___

Obama: "Is it the opposite of American Interests?"
Advisors: "Yes."
Obama: "We'll do that!"

___

...pope's key science advisor is an atheist who believes in GAIA

Not to quibble, but, is that atheism, or is belief in earth-spirits more properly called paganism?

One's beliefs have nothing to do with real science. Alas, this is "I♥Science!"

___

VaJayJay's entire family were hardcore communists. What do you think she is?

[Unprintable rant]

___

Obama [says] we get that the oceans could rise up to 4 feet in our children's lifetimes...

So, he's saying he failed at the one thing he claimed he was actually going to be able to do, stop their rise.

Oh, wait, that's not the only thing. He has successfully "transformed the nation."

[whimper, sulk]

A few suggestions for "improving" the US Ten-Dollar Bill

Follow-up as if anyone noticed. Found the ol' gray cat sunning on a tree stump east of the house. Never saw Spark there before. He doesn't seem anxious for breakfast. I'm thinking he's fattened up on field mice.

Saves on our Friskies budget!

Bwah ha ha. Just used the jump-to-bottom-of-page link for the first time. #twoweeks finally arrives.... Ctrll-End still works better... but I can see it might be useful on the cell...

But then, my cell decided to die last night...

irongrampa: ...represents to me the America I grew up in, and whose precepts I hold to and will never desert.

Yes.

...That cleansing WILL happen.

I'd still like to believe so... gonna need a BIG brillo pad, though.

Morning, Glories.

Mom turned 95 yesterday. Milady, daughter, and I got down to spend the afternoon with her. The Family Crowd is coming in for the big party this weekend, but we got to share the real day with her quietly. Still on her pins (if wobbly), still has her wits. Still interested to see What Comes Next. Inspiring.

Cat missing. If you see an old gray cat, please call. He didn't show up for dinner last night, which is not uncommon, but he wasn't on the porch this morning waiting for breakfast, and that's a serious worry. He's a cat of habit. The high-grass areas got cut for hay yesterday. I hope the old fool didn't get caught up in that. Sparky, where are you?

Poppins made it to the meet-up, I see? Cool. Hope that was enjoyable for you, MP4. But... you've told that WC Fields story before. [grin]

And Vic is back! At least some things are right with the world this morning.

Now to finish scanning the early thread, then see what BenK thinks is worth reading, just for fun.

In case I don't get back, have a day.

Pretty bright painting for a Monday morning.

Thanks.
