Trump Time for Half Inch Ratchets

 Your love is like  a barn full of feral cats


Hey, the Amazon Ring now partners with more than 2,000 US police and fire departments. Isn't that fantastic? It's only fair to share your indoor cameras and Alexas with them too. Maybe some shower videos, to keep them awake and alert.


Today I identify as I don't know, but it sure as shit isn't a snow shovel


  • things are getting a little unstable, with the US warning the UK they will have no more of this aerial vs antenna nonsense. They told Boris in no uncertain terms that they need to start learning to spell.


Today the president restricted local police from receiving military equipment. What do you mean they already have it? He now calls his wife and Kamala 'Joe,' cuz it's easier to remember. Nobody explained this to Putin, who doesn't like being called Joe, which made last week's call much longer than necessary.


Well, I've had the talk with the dog. 

I told her she can't define her life in terms of someone else - she has to be ok being by herself. Every time her mom walks out the door, she sits and stares at me. She won't stop until I get up and reunite them. Do you want 2 pitiful big brown eyes staring at you while you work?


  • McDonalds is testing its McPlant burger.
  • it's going to McTank


Today the Russians took a giant step forward in social equality, by allowing a month dedicated to Black Russians. The month is 365 days long.


SNOW UPDATE

While waiting for the new forecast of 8-15" of snow to arrive, the Seasonal Dispute is getting ready to start. I wait until the last flake has arrived before I shovel. Seems reasonable, right?  Mrs lefty can't bear this and runs outside with a broom to sweep some of it away, "to make it easier to shovel." Who among us has a bad back and other physical ailments? Mrs lefty. Who shovels? Me. Who has completely given up and watched her have her fun? Me.  You should see her when it rains... she's out there with the leaf blower, drying it off so it will be easier to dry when it stops. 

The news has gone 24 hours SNOW SNOW SNOW!

They interviewed a lady who 'just decided to go for a walk'. She's recovering well at the Happy Place.

School students got a half day off yesterday. Today they're completely off. These children learn virtually. They got a day and a half off from sitting in front of their computers because it snowed. I re-demand snow days when working virtually. My boss loves me.

In other news news, forecasters from all over the world have converged (virtually)  on this area because, for the first time in 235 years, the weather forecast was damn near accurate. 

Unfortunately, this correctness is not a happy event for the citizens, who are struggling to find their cars under the snow. Even the most stout workers are giving up and staying home. The news say 6.1". Anybody who has a window can verify there's more than 6.1" on the sidewalks and cars. In the Pocono Mountains, there's 20" and counting. It snows every day there normally, but this is out of bounds. The temps are going up to 43 in a few days. Maybe that will melt the snow from the car.

At 1:30am, I was ready to spring from the bed and commit grievous bodily harm to the idiot who was shoveling. Or just take the flamethrower to his shovel.

The guy from the city's plow department is on the news every 15 minutes, talking about how prepared they were, and how many trucks they have on the road. Meanwhile, this snow will not be plowed until May, and will not melt until July.

I just bought a car - why is there snow on it? I got the Big Policy. I was assured this would not be a problem.


  • Israel has extended its Flying AIDS lockdown.
  • hmmm... doesn't seem that the first lockdown worked....


Dubai is creating a Space Court.

This is gonna be fun. The fighting, as countries refuse to recognize sovereignty and the claims of other countries, will be endless. Hey people: now is the time... the time to get rich... just study Space Law and get yourself a prime gig. A single case could argue for years and years.

I'm going to guess there are no provisions in law for aliens. There's another multi-year argument. Then the aliens are going to claim they own the entire planet anyway. The US will argue the point, claiming they need to acquire Martian Superiority, as they have acquired Space Superiority with Space Force [cue patriotic theme]. The US will win, because they have pictures of the judge participating in the Donkey Show, down in Mexico. The Martians are not good sports and things will keep 'happening' to US equipment. This will be the beginning of hijinks between the US and Mars. The Cold War will restart, with the Martians as the enemy. Instead of the reds, it will be little green men.

Once that gets settled, the Martians are going to sell mineral rights to Elon Musk or (anybody but Bill Gates). It's not going to be pretty. I have already filed an amicus brief with the court, against allowing any copy of Windows on the planet. HEY BOB - PLEASE REBOOT THE SHIP - it keeps trying to sell me vinyl siding.

Eventually war will break out. The Martians will go to the Space Council and admit fault, for letting the Earthlings off the planet. Space Council will send very large fleets of very large ships to inform the Earthlings they're heading back to Earth and are not to leave the planet until they achieve some degree of civilization.  There will be another 25 years of lawsuits in Dubai, and the US will completely deny there were any humongous spaceships in the sky and around the planet.


  • Tony Bennett revealed his Alzheimer's diagnosis.
  • Dustin Diamond RIP (44) - doesn't feel good, goes to hospital, Stage IV cancer, gone in a week


The Turkey Baster Strikes Again 

A woman in the Netherlands was 34, single, and wanted a baby. The normal route was cost-prohibitive, so she turned to a service that allowed her to pick from a catalog. No, really. She picked one guy, chatted on the phone, referred to him as 'well behaved' [?] and decided he was The One. She met him at a train station, gave him 75 Euros, and covered his travel costs. When home, she inseminated herself with a turkey baster.

This is not the first time a turkey baster made the news for sending the competitive swimmers to the finish line.

This ship is about to sail, ladies and gentlemen (and readers). Our Nanny State will not tolerate a kitchen implement being used for medical purposes and will ban sales of it immediately. You will not be able to get a turkey baster anywhere, even on the black web. Those with turkey basters will be ordered to turn them in or register them. Never mind that people use turkey basters to baste turkeys - they can be used for insemination, therefore they cannot be sold without a license.

Turkey basting clinics will be forced to close. Women will be relegated to back-alley inseminations, by 'doctors' who don't even wash their hands. Women will die because of this. Thanksgiving will never be the same. It will be the main issue in the 2024 election. Vermin Supreme will stop pledging to give out ponies and start with turkey basters.

Doesn't anybody fuck anymore?


Mainstream or Pr0n?:  Snowpiercer, The Bachelor, Puzhikkadakan, The Last White Man, Black Clover


  • 94 year old Trudy Haines was Philly's first black reporter. She was a part of growing up, because she was good at what she did. She still has a cable access show, but it's on pause due to the Flying AIDS.


Oregon has gone libertarian! A new law decriminalizes all drugs and offers addicts rehab instead of prison.

Of course rehab is borderline useless (recidivism rate is through the ceiling), but people in Oregon now have control of what they put into their own bodies. You Own You.


SJW in Your Schools 

Seattle Public Schools will spend the week promoting Black Lives Matter lesson plans to students.

“treating everyone the same may be unintentionally oppressive.”

Any incarceration of Black people “is an act of state violence.”

 


lefty Gets His Trigger Tripped

I don't know why, but there's a story in the Star about the lady behind Sybil, with multiple personalities, who claimed she made it up. The book was out in 1973, so I can't figure out why it's news in 2021. As usual, the MPD/DID info is either a freak show or wildly incorrect. This really pisses me off and I located the author to politely rebut...


The claim that the lady said she made it up twice is patently false.

  • there wasn't anywhere to look for info to make this up in 1973
  • many multiples claim, at some point, maybe they made it all up. I call this "We're not multiple today."
MPD/DID is a very rare condition
  • Nope. I hear this a lot, like some sort of Psychological Mantra. My support group for Significant Others of people with DID has over 400 members. Rare? It would have more, but it's not incredibly easy to find.
  • there are 3 within a few blocks where I live. Rare?
  • I get contacted by people with DID all the time, from all over the world. Rare?
about which little is known even today.
  • while the exact chemical mechanism may or may not be known, extreme, repeated childhood trauma can cause DID in some children. So can other kinds of torture (see Manchurian Candidate - it's real - MKULTRA).
By this point she was addicted to prescription drugs, existing on a cocktail of anti-psychotics and amphetamines.
  • Multiples do not require antipsychotics because they hear voices - this is a common mistake doctors make. In certain cases, they can be helpful. Amphetamines are uncommon.
Its themes touched a nerve with the American public, who at the time were obsessed in psychological trends such as recovered memories of trauma, which formed the basis of the "Satanic panic" hysteria that would come to grip the country over the following decade.
  • Satanic panic? Where do you think some DID comes from? This is not a belief - it's a fact.
Nowadays experts view MPD as a coping mechanism common in people dealing with trauma.
  • Well, duh. Experts, eh?
"However, people typically restore their usual perspective over time."
  • What? No, Doc, DID does not go away if you ignore it. Most require therapy. For a long time. Maybe some hospitalization too, for suicidal or out of control episodes.



Am I a doctor? No.
Am I a therapist? No.
Does my dear wife have DID? Yup.
Have we been at this a long time - long enough to know?  Umm... yeah.
