Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. I have been watching Turner Classic Movies’ 31 Days of Oscar and enjoying the days when an Academy Award went to a good film, not an exercise in box-checking diversity. I fully expect them to create a new category for Best Performance by a Transgender, lest someone win for both Actor and Actress.
So humor me for a little nostalgia trip. Yeah, I know the pics don’t match the movie, but the movie is what they were nominated for, and I picked the pic I liked.
A Place in the Sun.
Chaplin.
Stalag 17.
My Left Foot.
Cyrano de Bergerac
Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.
[UPDATE from Colorado Alex]
We can’t forget one of the true cinematic classics, with one of the greatest actors of our generation.

My Left Foot…hahahahahahaha
He was incredibly good looking in that movie.
Morning.
REPENT!
You know, if you feel like it. Does DayQuil break a fast?
Hola.
wakey wakey
Trump’s speech was most excellent last night and left the dems looking like complete and utter horse’s asses.
No offense Mare.
It’s been 8 hours since I’ve had sugar.
/breaks out in sweat

It’s been 8 hours since I’ve had sugar.
GET ON MY LEVEL.
Seriously, nothing since Sunday’s poonchkeys, but that’s normal for me.
I FUCKING LOVE SNICKERDOODLES
*cries
Is lent over yet?
I had a piece of tiramisu last night as a last goodbye.
I don’t even really crave sugar anymore, just starch. The poonchkeys were just something to do because it was that time of year.
I need to really cut down on sugar, but since I’ve lived on it for 50 years, stopping just might kill me.
I am fine until I take that first bite of something. Then I’m a goner.
I had to stop. It was killing me to keep going.
It’s not killing me. It’s just a bit of sabotage.
I have been through too many cycles of fit/fat. Sugar has to either be very occasional or immediately after absolute barn-burner of a workout.
Can you keep it down in here? Some of us are trying to work!
I already did the only thing I had to get done at work today, so I’m coasting now.
Eh. That’s not really my issue. It’s this- I eat a cookie, Then another. THEN ANOTHER. Then one last one, and I’m still thinking about them…
then I get tired and feel like shit.
I don’t want to be tired and feel like shit.
I have a regular vet appointment for Oschi in a bit this morning, then tomorrow is her big thing at Michigan State.
https://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2017/02/28/is-february-28-2017-the-night-the-democratic-party-died/
I want to post this on every democrat’s facedouche feed this morning. Boils my blood!
Moose and Oschi are outside playing right now… they crack me up. Moose like to just grab her by her tail.
$60 M for the Obamas’ book deal? That’s money they’ll never recoup.
“arack Obama is widely regarded as one of the finest prose stylists among modern presidents, and his million-selling Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope are considered essential to his rise to the White House”
Ba haaa haaa haaaaaaa …
Yea. Right.
Just checked the barometer of the left (my mom’s facebook page). They are still in a holding pattern and haven’t received their marching orders.
Do you think they’re just waiting/hoping starts tweeting this morning, or will they ever actually address what he said last night?
They have to wait for someone to find one thing wrong, then they will exploit it.
Van Jones calling Trump presidential? That was a jaw dropper.
Yea. Right.
That, his skin color, and lack of a negro dialect.
Perfect Storm.
Bad News, you have to stop masturbating
They are looking for the Russians who wrote his speech,
The poonchkeys were just something to do because it was that time of year.
I feel the same way about your mom.
I only eat sugar on Saturdays, and occasionally Friday nights. Saturdays are when I overload on the carbs, but even before that I tried to limit myself since I fall into the same trap as Car in. Usually now I’ll have a couple of Mexican Cokes and a either a couple slices of cake or Little Debbies or something. I kind of try and make myself sick so that I don’t want anything else for the rest of the week.
Can’t listen to Wiser radio again this morning.
listen on Tunein
Wiser has a talking point lib on. She’s pretty good relating to wiser.
Tunein wants me to download some bullshit app to listen.
Fuck ’em.
The marching orders have arrived. From Vox.

The Pentagon has insisted that the raid produced “actionable intelligence,” but offered no details to substantiate the claim. That assessment isn’t universally shared: NBC News reported Tuesday that the raid had “so far yielded no significant intelligence.”
Because … you know, the first thing you want to do is tell NBC what you learned in the raid.
is the state of the union speech worth watching?
It wasn’t a state of the Union, but yes it is worth listening to.
lol
Oprah wants to run for president.
Black – check
Pussy – check
No noticeable negro dialect – check
Should be a shoo-in.
Plus she already has a history of give-aways to everyone.
What party will she run in?
She’s probably undecided.
Oprah killed it.
Fucking cunt.
Hispanics of both sexes and black men are going to vote for Oprah?
Tell me a funnier joke next time.
I’m still working my way forward through the archives. I think I had this cough to one degree or another for all of February.
Just wait till Martha Stewart enters the race
Isn’t she a felon?
*wonders when I should see a doc about this ankle, still sore
I’ve got openings in a couple of months. Call the office and they’ll squeeze you in. Lie about your age if it comes up.
Rest, ice, compression, and something that starts with an E. I don’t know what.
If you haven’t done all that, then no.
Erection
Right. Erection. I forgot that one.
Thanks Jimbro.
If this has been going on for longer than a few weeks or a month and just not getting better I’d begin the process. I seriously don’t book out 2 months, more like a few weeks, but if you go to a busy doc you’re easily looking at a few weeks to get in. If you get better completely just call to cancel and they’ll fill the spot with someone else.
A felony conviction is a bar to voting, not to election to the Presidency.
Just been a few days, since Sunday.
Compression? That would hurt!
Hmm, interesting xbrad. thought that a felony disqualified you. Can’t remember why i think that.
Compression? That would hurt!
don’t be a baby.
Yeah, don’t be a baby.
Jay, the Founders assumed that the position didn’t need a lot of qualifiers, since land-owning men would be soberly judging the candidate and voting accordingly on behalf of their families and posterity.
Over 35. Natural-born citizen of the several states.
Ironically, she would be barred from a self vote.
I’m giving up stupidity for Lent.
See all you liberals, SJWs, and LGBTs after Holy Thursday.
McDonald’s seriously needs to update their Filet O’Fish sandwich. I have my suspicion that they made every last one of them in the 1970’s and just ship them out to stores each year during Lent.
Are you making an exception for MJ?
Speaking of fish sticks…
That was my favorite McDonald’s sammich as a child, Jimbro. If they’re still exactly the same I should grab one for nostalgia one of these days. For nostalgia, and all-day fishburps. Mmmm. Your mom.
White puffy bun, tartar sauce for three, undersized previously frozen fish patty shaped like a Western state…yep.
I had McDonalds for lunch.
I have to stop doing that. It always makes me feel like finely hammered shit.
I don’t mind a cheeseburger or double cheeseburger once in a while. Plus the fries are good.
Worky worky
I spent all morning on my invoicing for February.
I guess that is sign number one that at least the business is going well.
Things I bet no one saw coming: Beau Biden’s widow is having an affair with his brother Hunter.
http://pagesix.com/2017/03/01/widow-of-joe-bidens-deceased-son-having-affair-with-brother-in-law-hunter/
Gotta keep that gravy train rolling!
Schoolwork all day. Giving up now. Burned out. Rewrote the priorities on my To Do list. There’s time to lose my mind again tomorrow.
I read the article. Hunter’s wife must be soooooo happy that her in-laws are so supportive…of her brother-in-law’s widow sleeping with her husband.

They are probably resuming, not starting.
That didn’t seem right to me either BiW. A polite refusal to comment would seem more appropriate.
Rustoleum flat white – $4
A little bit of dirt and that repair will be invisible.
Autobody shops never tell you about the dirt trick.
Maybe they didn’t like the other wife. They are just keeping the favorite.
She probably voted for Trump.
Things I bet no one saw coming: Beau Biden’s widow is having an affair with his brother Hunter.
I’m not gonna lie, Joe Biden always struck me as sleazy. The whole family probably is a bit skeevy.
I feel sorry for the kids who are going to be caught up in all that drama.
Wasn’t Hunter the one that joined the Naval Reserve, only to pop hot for cocaine his first drill?
In Joe and Jill Biden’s defense…they’re idiots.
Look whose talking.
There.
A polite refusal to comment would seem more appropriate.
Some years ago, a couple I knew divorced because she was fooling around on him. When she was moving out of town to go live with her lover, the (not Catholic) church ladies threw her a farewell party. I remember thinking, why????? He quit that church, naturally.
I would have too.

So tonight, on Ash Wednesday, my wife needs my help baking cookies for a friend of hers. The closest thing I’ve had to food all day was DayQuil at 7am.
It’s fine. These sorts of things build character.
I didn’t realize anyone was filming me, Scott.
Ok, this is neat.
The 8AM Ash Wednesday service had no music. I am usually a musical person, but that service was awesome, all the more stark with the silence.
Nice smackdown of the NY Slimes by the NRA
Shitter’s full!
Not sure how to share leon’s link securely, as his real name is mentioned in it.
You want a guest on Friday, Richard?
I took a few days off work to finish painting.
btw, anyone want a good laugh, TH is board-opping tonight’s bball game and it’s a disaster.
A hilarious disaster.
This is the guy that used to lord his “27 years of experience” over me.
You want a guest on Friday, Richard?
Oh HELLZ yeah!
12:40?
Since it’s Lent, and it will be Friday, you should talk about fish sticks.
And muppets just…because.
You have another window to paint?

btw, how anyone can watch the clips of Ryan Owens’ wife from last night’s speech and feel anything other than heart-wrenching sadness and compassion for that woman is beyond me.
People like Michael Moore and Bill Maher are truly the lowest form of scum on the planet.
Wiserradio -> BOOGER!!!! -> Youtube video of WKRP Thanksgiving -> Youtube video of Hindenburg crash (because Mini-me didn’t know where “Oh the humanity!” came from)
So the Kevin Bacon number between Wiser and the Hindenburg crash is 4. This makes more sense than I originally thought.
I thought Mary Katherine Ham had the best response for Mrs. Owens.
This makes more sense than I originally thought.
I can do better than that.
wiserradio…NAZI!!!…Hindeburg.

I can believe it.
I suspect that Jarret has been fucking Obama for a long time. It’s not about love, it’s part of her way of controlling him.
What did Maher and Ham say?
I heard Moore and he certainly made an ass of himself considering Obama similarily had a military honoree.
both of them trashed Ryan Owen’s widow for being at last night’s JS speech.
Ham did not trash her.
I have now listened to my interview. I didn’t sound half as bad as I thought I did. Yay!
Ham did not trash her.
Green eggs, meanwhile, has been merciless….
WATR needs to update their website. Unless Alan Colmes is speaking from beyond the grave.
I didn’t sound half as bad as I thought I did. Yay!
told ya.
Now convince Roamy to come back on…..
(Actually, that’s probably my fault…)
I’ve been doing the morning news and then my show this week. Both are a lot of work and doing both are geometrically more difficult.
Then add in the need to still do the normal bookkeeping stuff at the music store and then OH YEAH en-of-month stuff….
Anyway, I only say this to say… I resorted to replaying a recent interview yesterday, just to get a break.
and suddenly thought.. I HAVE BEST-OFs!!!
Of which I do not include my ISS astronaut interviews…
In retrospect, while those were cool and I will never forget them nor will I ever be able to thank Roamie enough for setting that up, I really did horribly on those interviews.
WATR needs to update their website. Unless Alan Colmes is speaking from beyond the grave.
Ben has recently been hired to take care of that.
Did you record it, Leon? I’d like to listen if you did, and it’s online somewhere.

Since Leon uses his real name, I do not want to share the link publicly unless he allows me to.
Eh, anyone watching this place could already have sorted it out. I was thinking I might add it to POL, though.
It’s up on POL under Possum’s 1 year.
That was not a horrible interview. The guy who butchered Rick Mastracchio’s name – that was a bad interview.

Who sounds shorter?
Cool. I’ll call in at 12:40.
*cues up smooth jazz and sets up a step-stool near the phone….
Nice interview, Leon. I was at the doctor 8 to 10 years ago. I was 5′ 9″, 150 pounds, and the doctor told me I needed to watch my weight because the BMI chart said I was a little heavy.
That’s absurd, Pepe. Did you laugh in his face?
blerg
I just looked at her like she was brain damaged, Leon. Even she really wasn’t buying the chart. I go anywhere, and there are so many seriously obese people, it’s ridiculous. I do need to get in better shape. I’ve basically been starting a new business for the last 4 years. Last year I probably averaged working 8 -10 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a lot of energy left for exercise.

>>Local Queens Official Facing Backlash Over Bike Lane Comments
(Queens, NY) — A Queens community board member is facing backlash after saying bike lanes in Corona will be empty, once President Trump starts deporting illegal immigrants. But Ann Pfoser Darby says she’s a “realist, not a racist” and that she wasn’t trying to offend anyone with her comments at a public hearing Tuesday night on bike lanes. When asked how she can tell if someone’s an illegal immigrant, Darby said she can tell by the way they’re dressed that they’re “different kinds of people.” Queens is home to nearly half of New York City’s illegal immigrants and a lot of people there think she should resign.
