Brook sent me this one.

A man got on the bus with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and
sat down next to an uninformed voter. The puzzled uninformed voter kept looking
at him and his bulging pockets. Finally, after many glances from her, he said,
“It’s golf balls.”

The uninformed voter continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking
deeply about what he had said. After several minutes, not being able to contain
her curiosity any longer, she asked, “Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow?”

This young lady was Saturday Boobage two weeks ago as a blonde. AlphaDelta sent me this picture of her with her natural hair color. I think she looks much hotter as a brunette, but then, I prefer brunettes to blondes. I was gonna post this picture last week but I lost it. Fortunately, AD was able to resend it. This has the added bonus of pissing off Toejam. I think her A to B ratio is perfect but he will piss and moan about it as usual.

There sure are a lot of hot women in Eastern Europe, especially Romania. (more…)

I’m gonna give it to Mississippi College.

US Marine Jeremy Rawls was suspended recently from Mississippi College after he requested a non-Muslim counselor.
The college labeled him a “threat” after he asked for a different couselor.

A threat? WTF?

Months after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pledged to improve its treatment of veterans, disabled student veteran Jeremy Rawls is hoping his college might do the same.

Since February, the rising senior at Mississippi College in Clinton, Miss. has struggled to maintain good grades and reclaim his work-study position after MC administrators allegedly suspended him and labeled him a threat to himself and other students.

In an exclusive interview with Campus Reform, the former active-duty Marine who served two combat tours in Iraq said his suspension came after he requested to meet with a different counselor in the school’s Office of Counseling and Disability Services. Rawls, who is diagnosed with combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), was originally paired with a female counselor who wore traditional Muslim dress during his initial visit to the office.

“It’s not that I didn’t want to participate… I didn’t want to traumatize her and it wasn’t a good environment to be talking about [my disabilities] with that specific person,” Rawls said.

Holy crap! This dude did two tours in Iraq fighting Mooslimes and they give him a Mooslime counselor? WTF is wrong with these people? And then when he requests a different counselor because he might do harm to her because of his PTSD they suspend him? JHFC! Find the idiot who did that. Tar. Feathers. Rail. Some assembly required. But before you do that, give the person the coveted AOTW Award.

Remember last year when the first quarter growth of the economy had to be revised down into negative territory? And why did we have negative growth in the first quarter? It was because of the “harsh winter”. Remember the Polar Vortex? Yannow, the one that was cause by “warming at the North Pole” which was cause by global warming climate change. Yep! Warm weather at the North Pole cause frigid temperatures in the continental United States and if you believe that (like *cough* Robin Palm *cough* our pet liberal, who, by the way, has a masters degree) I’ve got some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you. Well, it’s deja vu all over again.

The U.S. economy shrank at an annualized pace of 0.7 percent in the first three months of the year, according to government data released Friday morning, a tumble for a recovering nation that until recently seemed poised for takeoff.

The original numbers had the economy growing at an anemic .2 percent and I wrote at the time that the numbers would be revised downward and we would actually have a negative growth rate. I must be psychic.

The contraction, the country’s third in the aftermath of the Great Recession, provides a troubling picture of an economy that many figured would get a lift from cheap oil, rapid hiring and growing consumer confidence. Instead, consumers have proved cautious, and oil companies have frozen investment — all while a nasty winter caused havoc for transportation and construction and a strong dollar widened the trade deficit.

“a nasty winter” Oh noes! That’s the second nasty winter in a row. How can this be. I thought we were warming up. NOAA keeps telling us that. According to NOAA, December was the warmest month on record. This past winter didn’t seem all that nasty to me. So which is it?

The numbers released Friday were a revision of earlier figures that had shown GDP growing in the first quarter at 0.2 percent. Markets had since expected the downward revision, in large part because of recent data showing the trade deficit at a 6½-year high.

Blah. Blah. Blah. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think we ever came out of the Great Recession. Every summer the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party would claim that this was gonna be the “recovery summer”. They constantly wrote about “green shoots” indicating a recovery.

Though the United States has shaken off nasty quarters in the past, including one year ago, this time the rebound doesn’t appear to be so dramatic. Halfway through the second quarter, economists say growth again appears to be below expectations. Many analysts expect the GDP to expand roughly 2 percent in the second quarter, while the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta takes an even darker view, predicting an expansion of just 0.8 percent. That would leave the United States with six months of economic standstill..

If we have two negative quarters, which may well happen, that will indicate that we are back in a recession. As I wrote earlier, I don’t think we ever came out of the Great Recession. The gummint has been cooking the books. The unemployment numbers are bogus. We have the lowest job participation rate in my life time. They don’t count the people who have given up looking for work or the part time workers who want to be full time workers. And why are many of those part time workers not full time workers? Obummercare. Thanks John Roberts you traitorous asshole for ruling that Obummercare was Constitutional. I wonder what the Dimocrats have on you?

Obummercare is a drag on the economy. Over-regulation is a drag on the economy. Thank you Richard Nixon for giving us the EPA. Obumbler’s war on coal is a drag on the economy. The one thing that has helped save the economy is the fracking revolution which Obeauzeau is taking credit for but would stop it if he knew how. But, now that the price of oil has dropped, drilling has been cut back in Texas and North Dakota and workers are being laid off. Look for negative growth in the second quarter.

Obamanomics in action. But we did elect the first black president to prove we aren’t racist. How’s that working out? Race relations are now back to the way they were in the 60’s. I thought this dude was supposed to bring us together.

From my sister. Link was broken. Fixed.

Let’s face it. They’re arrogant and don’t have to do anything for us to feed them. What a life!

Now live with it!

Two Baltimore residents stated that they believed the police in the city are not doing their jobs in interviews broadcast on Tuesday’s “The Lead” on CNN.

Resident Malacka Reed El said, “I don’t think the police are doing their jobs, but I do not think that it’s all of the police. We do have some police officers that are doing their jobs.”

Rev. Jamal Bryant, (who National Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux said is “a close friend” of the Gray family) the Pastor of Empowerment Temple Church, added, “It’s almost akin to having a substitute teach in the middle of the semester who turns a blind eye, doesn’t know the students, and is not, in fact, giving a grade. And so it’s a very dangerous time in our city when crime is going up, but arrests are going down.”

If I were a Baltimore cop and I saw how the political establishment in Baltimore was on the side of the feral blacks like the stupid mayor who said that the rioters needed space to loot, I was being badmouthed for doing my job, and I was seeing a drug dealer canonized, I would be staying out of black areas of town. Screw ’em! They wanted the cops to stand down and that’s what the cops are doing. The cops are giving them what they wanted. Too bad. So sad.

Ron sent me this Hope n’ Change cartoon that nails it. This pretty much shows this Black Live Matter meme is pure bovine droppings. Just like “Hands up, Don’t Shoot”, another debunked black myth. Speaking of St. Louis, there were 13 shootings over the Memorial Day weekend.

Ron wrote a little missive about Cankles.

Just read some articles about HC’s refusal to answer questions from reporters. Wanna know how her surrogates are responding to criticism that she hasn’t answered a legitimate meaningful question not planted by some acolyte at one of her “town meetings” for a month now?

She’s “PUTTING THE VOTERS FIRST, HILLARY ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS THAT REALLY MATTER” and the all-caps is the original, not my idea.

Questions about Benghazi or e-mails or private servers or missing funds or immigration or ISIS apparently don’t matter to people who intend to vote for her, n’est ce-pas?

Now, you can’t really blame her for keeping her mouth shut except for rehearsed responses to planted questions. She gives speeches that make the audience slip off into the arms of Morpheus, and when she actually DOES address an issue, it’s nothing but ultra-safe, highly-crafted, recycled sophistry and equivocation, not even full of sound and fury but still signifying nothing.

She may be inevitable, but she’s just not likeable. Answering questions from real journalists is the last thing she wants to do, mostly because she’s no good at it, unlike her philandering partner, with whom she’s made over 25 million in speeches and appearances while claiming to be “dead broke.”

Boy, it just never lets up . . . the deceit, the spin, the stonewalling, the hypocrisy, the deflection. Hillary Clinton lies not only effortlessly, but artfully, as if it gives her great satisfaction to weave false narratives out of the carnage and destruction that bobs around in her wake until it finally sinks slowly to the sludge at the bottom of the political swamp, out of sight, out of mind, out of the headlines.

And what is amazing is that she lies about the most trivial things, like being named after Sir Edmund Hillary. The PIAP was born in 1947. Sir Edmund Hillary didn’t climb Everest until 1953. No one had ever heard of him in 1947. Or here’s another doozy. She said she tried to enlist in the Marine Corps but her eyes were too bad. Besides being a sociopath she is, in the words of William Safire, “a pathological liar”. She and my ex-wife have a lot in common as my ex also lied about the most trivial things. – GOC

I can think of nothing, not one single thing, that she has accomplished in the past 40 years of which she can be proud, not even her daughter, and I really don’t believe that those who intend to vote for her can do so either. In fact, she’s what we might call an “errorist,” one incapable of correctly assessing situations and making proper decisions, rather like her last boss.

Does she still have a valid law license? I’m not sure. In fact, I’m not entirely sure she ever actually had one; did she? Wasn’t there something about her being fired as a lawyer who lied and abandoned both ethics and the Constitution? Maybe not a JD, but I know she obviously has a PhD in Obfuscation and an LlD in Poppycock to go with her MS in Rigamarole and BA in Twaddle.

As a young lawyer, she got kicked off the team investigating Watergate due to her total lack of ethics and disregard for the Constitution. She got an early start. – GOC

To paraphrase Marc Antony, and just about anyone right of center, Hillary is ambitchous. She looks to me like someone so intent and focused on acquiring the type of supreme power traditionally held by men that the strain has caused her to herniate a disc.

So now she’s on percodan and oxycontin for the pain and librium and valium for the penis envy. Her cerebrum has morphed into a mass of congealed false figments, and her speech centers have lapsed into echo-chant encores based on stale clichés and hackneyed shibboleths.

Her campaign bus finally ran out of fuel and broke down, so now she’s stranded at the intersection of Deception Boulevard and Disavow Avenue. Her speeches are highlighted by recycled rubbish and seasoned with DNC Convention floor sweepings, and her campaign logo looks like something dreamt up by a 3rd grader on Ritalin.

Her entire adult life as far back as Wellesley has been highlighted by a series of scandals and embarrassments. But times have changed. Scandals are cankers on the hide that you can no longer hide, mostly because of smartphones and YouTube. If not properly treated, they can fester and become necrotic. Then if something bumps into them, they ooze a contagious slime which contaminates everyone.

Scandals don’t really matter to Dimocrat voters or the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party unelss they involve Republicans. There was more coverage of Bridgegate that there was of Benghazi. – GOC

That’s what can very possibly happen under a Hillary PotUSy. Her team is as organized as the Mafia, but not as personable. She’s like Michael Corleone: her nature is to be vicious, brutal, obscene, and greedy; she’s incapable of operating any other way. It’s in her DNA. Only, and I stress ONLY, if available solutions to hot-button issues add dollars to her coffers and layers to her defenses will her decisions benefit the nation.

Hillary is famous for nothing and infamous for nearly everything. Still, she somehow remains confident and secure in the murky depths of her ignoble perfidy, shielded from the slings and arrows of reality by a doting press which tosses cupcake questions to her and heaves hand grenades at her opponents.

IOW, I have had a vision of the future, and it’s broken. Nixon took us from a Norman Rockwell America to a Captain Queeg America. Jimmy Carter took us from a beleaguered America to a Mister Rodgers America. Slick took us from a Reaganesque victor America to an Animal House America. Soetoro took us from a recovering America to a Mike Tyson America. And Hillary will take us from a tomato-can America to a Detroitus America.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a monotonous, potty-mouthed maladroit with delusions of adequacy who, unless somebody does something, two years from now will hold the crumbling reins of what once was a strong and prosperous nation. Her single credential for the PotUSy is a seldom-used and long-forgotten vagina in an era of noisy female ascendancy.

The woman, and I say that only because of the fact that she did give birth once (her daughter’s face is all the evidence I need to accept that reality), has all the management acumen of a turnip and the tact of a pit viper. I don’t doubt her ability to make decisions, but generally they’d be the kind that would destroy your credit, confound your associates, and cause your house to collapse.

Whil;e she and Slick manage to make a lot of money while destroying the country. – GOC

To her the truth is like holy water to a vampire. An inventory of her false or embellished or misleading statements would take several pages. She is a socialist by association, but a mafiosa by nature. When that 3 a.m. phone call comes in, she’ll be ready to deal with it . . . so long as personal profit for her is involved.

This is amazing! Just another example of Moore’s Law.

The visualization below, inspired by the recent 50th anniversary of Moore’s law, tells the story of the trillion fold increase in computing performance we’ve witnessed over the past sixty years. That’s impressive enough, but some of the other finds are downright astounding. The Apollo guidance computer that took early astronauts to the moon, for instance, has the processing power of 2 Nintendo Entertainment Systems, while the Cray-2 supercomputer from 1985—the fastest machine in the world for its time—roughly measures up to an iPhone 4.

And I know someone who swears up and down that an iPhone 4 is not a computer. He spent two hours on the internet and he knows it’s not a computer. He even welshed on a bet he made with me about it. Of course, I spent three years in college as a computer engineering major and 27.5 years in IT with IBM in both hardware and software and I taught both hardware and software, so what do I know? Two hours on the internet trumps all of my knowledge and experience, not to mention all of the other IT people I know who get a chuckle about this. I’m up to about 300 years of IT experience trumped by his two hours on the internet. Amazing!

Great Memorial Day weekend in Baltimore! Because Black Lives Matter. Thanks to Toejam for the link.

BALTIMORE —Five people were killed and as many as six others were injured during shootings Friday night and Saturday in Baltimore, police said.

Baltimore City police are operating on high alert after a spate of violence.

“The reality is over the last five days, our guys have taken off 10 guns in separate situations, our guys have served search warrants on North Avenue and taken off some bad characters there. We had a pursuit today around Mondawmin. The officers did a good job in making arrests out there. And earlier this week, unfortunately, in the Eastern (District), where we have some traditional gang violence, five were shot and officers engaged and took two of those guys to jail, so there’s a consistent pattern of officers doing a good job out here,” Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said.

And this was just Friday and Saturday nights. When this story was written, there were still two more days to go of Memorial Day weekend. I’m sure the body count will grow higher. Remember, black lives only matter when it’s a white (or a “white Hispanic”) dude who has killed them. It’s quite OK for blacks to kill other blacks, unless it’s a black cop. No protests or riots will occur as a result of these shootings. Al Tawana Brawley Crown Heights Riots Freddie’s Fashion Mart Arson “Greek Homos” Sharpton will not go to Baltimore as a result of these shootings. He is going to Cleveland to foment riots as a result of the white cop getting off for shooting the black dudes in the car that tried to ram him.

I imagine there were a few black dudes killed in St. Louis and Chicago over the Memorial Day Weekend as well.

Update: It’s even worse. From Ron in the comments.

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–It’s been a violent weekend in Baltimore after a surge of shootings–some deadly across the city.

Police say 29 people were shot, 9 of them killed over this weekend, adding to the record-breaking violence.

The shooting didn’t stop on Monday night after a 9-year-old boy and another man were both injured by gun fire in the 2900 block of Arunah Avenue. Police say the child was shot in the leg and another man suffered a graze wound to the head.

New police video of a person of interest in Sunday’s deadly shooting in Druid Heights. It’s one of several active investigations following a Memorial Day weekend riddled with gun violence across Baltimore City.

Yep! Them black lives really matter don’t they?
