Today's dispatch from The Halls of Higher Learnin':
So, it’s been hard at times for me to get to class on time, since commuting around here sucks. Class is at 1030. I usually leave at 9AM. I get in at 1029 and say “Aha! I’m early!”, to which this one guy who has shown up for maybe half the classes says “Is ‘on time’ to you early?”. I said “Maybe. Is an F to you passing?”
Remember, your key to academic success is to be a smartass the day the instructor is giving the first major test of the semester!
Hal, I think you're giving me the death of 9000 cuts.
I hope the defense budget increase includes free college for vets at a decent school, or job training, and fucking hearing protection, for crissakes. Lip service, as always, is free.
I'm beginning to understand why you folks like Charlie Pierce so much. I've mostly seen him on television and he doesn't come across well, perhaps because this kind of hyperbolic writing makes things happen faster than you (or at least I) can keep up with while just listening to it. Plus all that tweed and facial hair is off-putting.
Taibbi is similarly a much better writer than teevee personality.
Yeah, am composing a note to Rep. McSally about Meals on Wheels. Maybe : Be sure to vote to end Fed. funding M on W I'm tired of tax dollars going to feed old people.
"Why should the American taxpayer continue to waste money subsidizing the idle Old when we could put them to good use in our factory farms? Hogs will eat absolutely anything. "
Breaking: Can't find a link on it, but MSNBC is saying the Chair and ranking member of the Senate Intel Committee said Trump's assertions about Obama wire-tapping him are bullshit.
So we can expect tRump's sincere and abject apology any time now.
Spicy just came in to explain this all away. Fun times!
One of these days, Spicer will just up and leave the WH Pool, book a one-way ticket to New Zealand, burn all his papers, Bin his laptop and disappear.
From the WaPo article:
“I’ve been reading about things,” Drumpf said in an interview with Fox News Channel. Drumpf said that after noticing an article in the New York Times and commentary by Fox anchor Bret Baier, Drumpf said he told himself, “Wait a minute, there’s a lot of wiretapping being talked about.”
In the interview with Fox host Tucker Carlson, Drumpf maintained that information would soon be revealed that could prove him right, but he would not explain what that information might be. He said that he would be “submitting certain things” to a congressional committee investigating the matter and that he was considering speaking about the topic next week.
“I think you’re going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks,” Drumpf said.
Jesus jumping screaming tapdancing Christ. If that doesn't say "red-flag 5 alarm SOLAS flare all-hands-on-deck" Bullshit Artist, there's nothing that does. I know my Detector is sensitized from living in the Northeast and way too near D.C. for years, but it can't just be me that sees this. Right?
Wonder how his investigators in Hawaii are doing in discovering the real story of Obama's birth?
If it was me, I'd be loading Donald's credit card up with more helo tours, Rum drinks and Mahi-Mahi picnic lunches. It's the only way to be sure.
I had to go to Honolulu two weeks after 9/11. After getting through an epic migration scene at the airport and a nice flight over in an upper-deck business class seat on a half-empty 747, I finally arrived at the Hilton Hawaiian Village to find that, since the place was fucking empty, I'd been upgraded to an ocean-view corner suite on the 36th floor of the Tapa Tower. I had 1-1/2 baths, two lanais, and a separate bedroom, all for the sweet government rate of $110/night. I didn't ever want to leave.
Wow, cool. They'd have to pry me out of there with a crowbar.
The only problem was I actually had to work. But still, it made up for many lonely days at Waynesville MO.
My old company had satellite field offices next to Hickam AFB , near Honolulu (desirable), next to Andersen AFB, near nowhere (hardship). I got to go to Butte, Montana, near the most toxic open lake in the U.S. (appalling). I did get to see mountain goats, grizzlies and had dinner in a Chinese place that was converted from a 1900's whorehouse.
AMEC?
We're going to witness his full nervous breakdown in about two weeks if he keeps going at this pace FFS.
Who in the hell zeroes out Meals on Wheels? Who decides that a program that spends $3 million to help volunteers feed the elderly and infirm in their communities is something that the country can no longer afford? Who are the men in the meetings who make this kind of call? What are their names? Trot them out so the country knows who they are.
Seriously, FFS. Regarding the rest of Donald's budget:
Jaw-droppingly cruel and stupid. I expected nothing less.
Better learn Mandarin, kids: 你想要炸薯条吗？

You're under a lot of stress. Maybe some relaxing videos of mostly failed |nuke tests|
Thanks. Between this and that nosy police department, I get nothing done.
Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

They actually are increasing the VA budget; here's hoping it's not to fund privatization studies.
Getting the VA in better shape would be nice. From what I hear, it's more of a clusterfuck than straightening out our civilian healthcare.

I find C.P.'s voice register annoyingly high for his persona, but that's it.

| Linky from the WaPoo, | plus | Gorka's a Nazi! | I know, big surprise.
Apology? No. That Would Make Us Look Weak.
Spicy angry today! Shouting match w/Jonathan Karl!
Now bloviating by reading pages and pages of news reports, including quotes from Hannity and "Judge" Andrew Napolitano.

"Our constituents tell us they'd rather we spent the money on defense contracts and construction at military bases and building a big dumb wall."
"Who are your constituents?"
"Government contractors and people who work at strip joints and tattoo parlors outside Fort Bragg. Who did you think we were talking about?"
