@creekcrawler.bsky.social Tweed Fender amp? I used a tweed Carvin Belair until the Great Republican Recession cost me everything.

@semper-talis.bsky.social Having no one to speak Deutsch with for a number of decades, I’m reduced to, “Mein gedärme schnurren."

My dear departed daddy once took the family on a Sunday drive out into the countryside of northeast Ohio for the sole purpose of seeing a roadside mailbox with the name on the side. Alfred E. Neuman. The old man got that the kids would never forget that road trip. Probably 1961.

Filled the tank for $30 and then the dimwits started to play war. Last week was the next fill up and it cost $51. I voted for the black lady. If you voted for egg prices you owe me. And you need some serious edjamukashun.

When Reagan said, “The nine scariest words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” 67% of the public trusted the gov’t to do the right thing. That bit of cynicism ultimately gave us Trump. If you vote for the GOP you are helping the destruction of our country.

@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social Fun facts to know and tell: Governor Le Pètomane in Blazing Saddles was named for a late 19th century French flatulist. I’m surprised Stephanie doesn’t have his portrait in a place of honor. He imitated animals and musical instruments with his arsehole.

Well, that was an easy decision.

Toasted ciabatta, mojo pork loin, ham, salami, Swiss cheese, Claussen sandwich slices, toasted ciabatta, smear outside with butter and into the sandwich press. Voila! Cubano.

So I’m trying something different. I sliced two mini pork loins into approximately 8mm slices and filled a pyrex casserole dish with Mojo marinade. Tomorrow I’ll roast them at 350 for a couple of hours and then throw some in a skillet to brown. Then Ciabatta, buttered and browned, mustard, pork,

The Pope says that the prayers of those who wage war will go unanswered. A message to Don, Kegbreath and Ms. Lindsey. KKKaroline says the troops appreciate prayers. That’s how propaganda works. Take a kernel of truth and use it to make…the Pope? look bad? The fate of Tokyo Rose should be on her mind

This is what the High Egg Price voters gave us: apple.news/Ar1OObyn0Tr2...

Interesting considering that Truman doubled the minimum wage from something like $ 0.24 to $ 0.48 in 1948 and employment skyrocketed. apple.news/AdokR5_LDRvC...

@ben9311.bsky.social Telescope making. Interesting. I made stuff for over fifty years, but a telescope will be used long after we’re gone. Someone once pointed out that all of my woodworking will ultimately be painted white.

@musicalhistorian.bsky.social Studied string bass under the principal bassist of the Cleveland Orchestra in the early ’70’s. I learned I started too late in life, being over six years old. Give a listen to Dvorak’s string quintet in G major on youtube. A thing of beauty.

apple.news/A4LurthrmSNm... Erika Kirk appointed to Air Force Academy board because of her vast perceived experience at… and because Colorado Springs was in need of humiliating attention. It had been days without embarrassment.

RFK Jr. is undergoing rotator cuff surgery. How about, as long as he’s sedated, an optrectomy? Doctors could sever the link from his optic nerve to his asshole and possibly eliminate his shitty outlook on vaccines.

Could someone, anyone please explain to me how the United States of America became so stupid as to elect a New York silver spoon rich kid president? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

I was listening to the documentary Too Smart for the Room about Lord Buckley and when The Hip Gan was played, on cue after 55 years, I recited, “Knock a little patch on the cat’s pants.” LSD was not a waste of time in 1971.

apple.news/Af_m1gTGpQzm... Interesting that Tomasky has finally found the signs of tRump’s authoritarian bent. I cleaned up a septic backup in 1973 and ended up spending months getting over the resulting hepatitis infection.

@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social So the Drink of the Day in our house is chilling. After months of delay caused by Donald the Drooler’s trade abuse, Plymouth Gin returned to the shelves. I poured 14 oz of gin and one oz of Noilly Prat French dry vermouth in a pint container and put it in the freezer.

What he really means. Always.

I am delighted to say that my searches have found no hereditary links between FL Congressman Randy Fine and Larry Fine of Three Stooges fame. However, if the spirit of Harry “Moe” Howard wishes to pull out a clump of Randy Fine’s hair, he has my blessing.

@cleguardians.com Utilizing six starters overcame the deficit and got the Guards into the playoffs last year. Why isn’t that a starting point for using six starters all year long? The wear and tear of high spin rates and fastballs coming in faster than ever seems to demand another day of rest.

Oligarchy to tyranny or democracy? That’s what’s on the ballot come November. apple.news/AnVW5wkiGSHW...

Happy Caturday! Here are a few photos of the sarcophagus I made for the sister in laws two dearly departed cats, Barnum and Bailey. It now contains their ashes and favorite toys.

The problem: When Reagan took office in 1981 the U.S. had one, maybe two billionaires and 2/3 of us were in the middle class. Today there are 924 billionaires controlling $6.9 Trillion and, by some accounts, 44% of us are middle class. Where do you think their billions came from? Tax the rich.

And once again I find myself shouting to the air, “You stupid motherfucking assholes! Kamala could be president and the Orange Shitgibbon could be in jail. But you dumbfucks didn’t understand why your eggs were so expensive!” But I do go on.

If the left ever comes back into total control it must rule like Big Brother, but actually deliver universal healthcare, free school lunch to all, and on and on, except while filling Gitmo with our present abusers. All powerful and repressive Big Brother vs. all powerful and benevolent Big Brother.

@godhatesyeast.bsky.social The whole unleavened bread thing was due to the Levant’s unawareness of oregano oil to keep yeast infection at bay. When the church became centered in Rome this became moot. Eatmeus 6:9.

For the last quarter century there is one thing I’ve known: When you boot up an Apple computer the damn thing works. If you think that not being able to make adjustments for video gaming is a problem, shut up and buy a Windhole device. I have never had an Apple device fail before its 10th year.

No window sill is too narrow if the sun is shining on it. Happy Caturday!

So I thought a three movie set of blueray featuring The Wild Bunch (Peckilnpah’s greatest) would be a good idea. How the West Was Won was possibly the most jingoistic piece of shit ever. I fear watching the racism of The Searchers, no matter what Buddy Holly played.

A wise man once pointed out that the American public must learn that the stupidest person on earth and the President of the United States really need to be two different people. Vote better next time.

@thepoliticsbar.bsky.social English is the international language of commercial aviation. Changing the name of Dullard Bros. airport to Dolt 45 would take years and cost upwards of $50M. Every print or digital map, every flight program, etc. If it makes him feel better he can pay for it.

Huffpost puts a video under the headline that has nothing to do with the article and some news feeds use a template with a video that follows you down the page with little or no connection to the article. Who thought this was a good idea? Is this the “you might also like” asininity from Amazon?

A Wall Street Journal article pointed out that swing voters thought that Trump’s “business acumen” would make him a better choice than Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. What “acumen” is that? Going into competition with your own casino? Fuck the MSM for their self fulfilling prophecies.

@cliffschecter.bsky.social Watching you on the Stephanie Miller Show and I’d just like to thank you for expressing the situation as it actually exists. We are at the brink of total fuckeddom if people don’t wake up.

Just to keep things in perspective, in 2015 Obama signed off on the JCPOA in which Iran halted nuclear enrichment for ten years. That would have just ended had not Trump, in a fit of pique because Obama was black, withdrawn the U.S. from the agreement as one of his first acts in 2017. Fucktard!

What in the fuck are these ignorant fucking fuckers fucking thinking that Don Lemon should have been arrested for? We have truly entered a Treasure of the Sierra Madre moment: First Amendment? We don’t need no stinking First Amendment! Fargin’ eisholes!

A note to Ohio Attorney General wannabe Keith Faber: Piss off, wanker! Since you think summary judgment and execution by a low IQ thug is just fine, you can fuck all the way off. Just forget about your brand of public service and crawl back under your rock. Asshole!

The NAZIs exterminated 11 million people for not being Aryans. I only point this out because Trump and his acolytes model themselves after NAZIs. We have no idea of the actual MAGA death count, but we have a historical record of the depths of killing they will resort to. Just sayin’.

In Donnie Littlehands enfeebled mind, he won the 2020 election and that’s that! By the third telling of any of his lies he is convinced that it is the truth because…he said it three times. If anyone doesn’t realize the “news media” is complicit in his lies simply because it’s profitable, yer wrong.

Why does the Melania Popcorn Box make me think of a young and lying Mickey Rourke in Diner? Did Donny Littlehands woo wife #3 in the same manner? I’m just asking questions.

I think Greg “Little Big Man” Bovino should find a barber that isn’t a direct descendant of Heinrich Himmler’s barber. Sieg Fuckoff!

Attn: Scott Bessent Biden’s been out of office for over a year. Blaming him for Trump’s fuckover of the economy is bullshit you can serve yourself for dinner. You probably think one of your bosses accomplishments is gold being over 5K p/oz. It actually reflects how much the dollar has lost. A hole.

It looks like Jeff Bezos’s $40M Trump bribe (I suspect 10 million for production and advertising and 30 million directly to Melania so Donny Littlehands gets out of alimony in the divorce) isn’t going to make any money. Bezos couldn’t care less as it bought him access. Tax him to the poorhouse.

@trixie57 has nailed it. In 1990 I tried to read the Art of the Deal and threw it in the dumpster because this is what he’s always been.

After the Democratic Party screwed Bernie out of the race, Trump took over Bernie’s message and got elected in 2016. Are you listening? Democrats? Bernie’s progressive Socialist Democratic message wins elections. Hello? Anybody home? Or are you content to fuck everything up all over again?

So Canada is allowing the import of 37k Chinese EVs that otherwise would have come from the U.S. Art of the Deal Boy plies his dealmaking in his usual manner. BY FUCKING LOSING! China now has its foot in the door of what was once our market and Dolt 45 has handed them solar and wind production.
