That’s Jan Garbarek, Dis, ECM records 1976

You live in the same town as Disney Hell, I live down the street from the Scientologists’s “Flag Center,” let’s join in a chorus of “Florida Man”:

Hard though it may be to believe, Florida is not one of the “reddest” states, though our necks are good ‘n’ red down here. In 2008 we went for Obama 51.0% / 48.2% and in 2012 we also went for Obama by 50.0% / 49.1%. Tragically, in 2016 we went 47.8% for HRC and 49.0% for the illiterate racist pig. By comparison, in…

That was a very interesting video, not only for the skill of the drywall installer but also because of the tool, sort of a combination of an axe and a hammer, that he was using. Several decades ago, when I was a land survey party chief, I found one of those things with a broken handle. I went to the hardware store,…

Cadillac’s phrase “standard of the world” originally meant that their machining was of such world-beating high accuracy that workers could substitute parts on the assembly line without sizing or filing. I once read that one of the design changes in the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, when the Packard factory started making…

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, aka “Big Eddie Munster,” also called for Brehm to resign, calling her comments “wrong, and, by displaying the berserk dementia of the Republican base, only serve to divide us in such a way that our fraction will be an electoral minority at a time when we all need to come together divide the public…

Ferrand is pretty good.

Unless you are a white right-winger.

Imagine covering for a bunch of punks who, ten minutes previous, had just beat the crap out of you with their skateboards. Imagine lying for their benefit.

Check out “any potential intoxicants in his system”! “Potential”? You mean you forensic geniuses didn’t test to see if he was all hopped up on PCP or had gone all psycho-aggro from injecting marijuanas or something? If Floyd had any “intoxicants in his system,” the autopsy would have detected them, right? and Fox…

She’s probably wanted to divorce him for years, but she figured he’d kill her the minute she handed him the papers. In fact, I’d bet he’s repeatedly told her he would. Now that they’ve temporarily taken his guns away and locked him up, here’s her chance.

Neither (a) nor (b).

Yeah, I have with the chocolate ones. (Did you know you can get a whole roll of nothing but chocolate Neccos? But I’ve never seen an all-licorice roll of Neccos.) Anyway, it doesn’t really work, they’re too hard even when you bust them up into little pieces.

Can I get ‘em mail-order? I’m only going to the grocery store every three weeks these days.

But what about tradition? When my Grandpa used to take me fishing there he always called it “Lake Hitler.” My Dad grew up calling it “Lake Hitler.” When I was in high-school, me and my girlfriend Sally used to drive out to Lake Hitler at night to gaze at the reflection of the stars on the water. And now you want us to…

And now, live from Washington, Fox News brings you the big event, with our hosts, Bob Hastings and Jim Watson!

“A clear plan”? First, voters don’t want clear detailed plans for anything; if they did, Elizabeth Warren would be on her way to the White House right now. If it doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker, it won’t fit in the swing voter’s brain. Second, you’d have to sell this plan and all its details to at least 51 Senators…

I’m sure I will be in a minority here, but having once bought a used white ‘99 NB that I then put 170,000 miles on, I would cheerfully pay the rather high price they’re asking for this lovely thing, and then I’d try to put at least 170,000 miles on it over the next few years.

Low-information voters are the reason why there’s any opposition to MFA among anybody in the lower 98% of incomes in America. Low-information voters, especially in my age group, are also the reason Sanders would have been such a disastrous candidate.

If Biden is given a choice between policy “A” which alienates 10% of the “youth vote” (I put that in quotes because I have a hard time calling a 30-year-old a “youth”) and policy “B” which alienates 10% of us old bastards who are twice as likely to turn up at the polls, he’d be ill-advised to promote policy “B” in his…
