“Middle O’ Teh Work Week Day” greetings from Happy Larryville, GN!
Great thread pic, Mac; needs moar bacon! Also missing: salsa.
My word…so many scandals and so much insanity occurring at home and abroad that this ol’ news junkie finds it overwhelming. If I had any brains, I’d simply knuckle-down, concentrate on Potential Feelthy Lucre Opportunity #2 and totally ignore Twitter today.
The media still refuses to ‘go there’ and ask the obvious question about the recent Secret Service goofs: would security have been better if the president was white?
It would make a great story but also result in a permanent state of siege for any journalist that wrote it: a candid look at the women in power in this administration. It seems to me that they have not done all that well the last six years. Off the top of my head: Lois Lerner, Napolitano, Lisa Jackson from the EPA, Sebelius, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, not to mention the current idiot spokeswoman from the State Dept whose name I have no idea.
California once again leads the nation in stupid laws. Jerry Brown signed a bunch of dumb shit legislation yesterday.
“Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a raft of key bills, including controversial measures that outlaw single-use plastic grocery bags, force juvenile sex offenders to obtain treatment and allow relatives of mentally ill gun owners to temporarily take away their guns.”
“Other notable pieces of legislation that earned Brown’s blessing this week include bills that impose tougher safety standards for some limousines; allow public school students to review and delete data collected about them by school districts through social media; and require California college students to hear the word “yes” from their sexual partners.”
Happy whatever-the-heck day it is, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning Fatwa and Sven!
Shouldn’t that pistol be laying on its other side, pointing away from the coffee mug? How else are you going to be able to quickly and easily pick it up with your right hand?
Sven -- not only do college students have to affirmatively consent to sex, that affirmation has to be ongoing and can be withdrawn rescinded at any time. So, I guess if your partner is yelling “Yes! Yes! Yes! Don’t stop!” you’re going to have to ask for clarification on the punctuation.
I’ve slowly climbed out of my silver and black funk and can honestly say, for the first time in my adult life, that I am embarrassed to be a Raider fan. That showing that they gave in London against the Dolphins has to be about the worst performance by any NFL team ever.
Firing Dennis Allen was the right move. I just hope that we win at least one game this season and that’s iffy at best.

Alas, I almost certainly ain’t that smart.
What? Only one egg?
Hai, Sven!
Eggs take up valuable stomach resources (which I personally believe are better allotted to bacon).
Good morning and happy Wednesday. It is Wednesday, right?
The media still refuses to ‘go there’ and ask the obvious question about the recent Secret Service goofs: would security have been better if the president was white?
Obvious question #2: Or if the head of the Secret Service was a warlike, aggressive male? 😉

Moonbeam is, and always has been, a complete dipshit.
Yeah, but at least he is California’s dipshit and not POTUS. That would have been a nightmare.

Fair cop re the pistol’s position. 😉
Har!
Probably best to get everything in writing and document with video.
They should have to acknowledge consent every step of the way. Every 30 seconds. There’s probably an app for that already.
Yes, there is. It’s called Good2Go.
You just gotta love the 21st century.
Seems legit…science!
Sad. Kilt’d again.

Damn, Fatwa: when you kilt something it stays kilt.
Pleasant dreams, friends.
Must be Hebola. 🙂
