Welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day. Whew.
First, the song. The purists will probably prefer Hank Williams, but this is the version I heard growing up.
Now for the hunks. Country singer John King.
Another view.
Bedroom eyes.
Somewhere other than here.
Rolling on.
Last, probably a repeat.
A little short on effort, but it will have to do for today.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week, and y’all have a good day.

The longer this pipeline crap goes on without Dementia Joe treating it like a crisis the more I wonder if our own 3 letter agencies aren’t behind it as a distraction from what’s really going on around us. Covid has been wearing off and Americans are waking up to just how fooked we are these days
I watched a movie called “Range 15” on Sunday. Good if you can stream it for free. Don’t pay extra for it. It’s made by the guy who runs Ranger Up t-shirts, etc company. Basically it’s a bunch of real veterans playing veterans who are trying to save the world from a zombie apocalypse. Nonstop sexual innuendo, implausible scenarios, nonstop obviously fake gore, battle caused amputee jokes and general stupidity. Streaming on Prime. Don’t blame me if you watch it and are offended.
I really need to check out the forecast for this year from GNDs economists.
I wonder if we’re really facing massive inflation (seems like it) or if it’s all just fake ass shit.
I tend to think like Obama on this. Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.

Unlike the 70’s when they start raising interest rates to get inflation under control the debt service on the national debt will eat the whole budget.
The “trillion dollar coin” will be minted soon.
Which is to say, we’ll default on the debt.
I wonder if we’re really facing massive inflation
Dude, wake up. Have you seen what’s happening in the housing market? Have you seen what has happened to lumber prices? Are you aware of the global shortages in electronics components and other cheap shit out of Chyna? Fuel prices are next.
As far as I’m circumcised, it’s already here.
Welp, I guess I’m done with dancing for a long time, at lest until I get the hell out of VA.
Covid vaccines make social dancing much safer. Fully vaccinated people are greatly protected against infection and serious illness and are far less likely to transmit covid-19 to others. We encourage everyone to get vaccinated as soon as possible so we can dance together safely!
Last week we launched a new online system to pre-register and verify vaccination for 70 dancers who attended the soft opening of WCS Fridays at Hollywood Ballroom. It was organized through a private facebook group. The entire evening went super smoothly. It was so wonderful to see familiar faces collect many long overdue hugs and get back to social dancing!
All fully vaccinated dancers are invited to join us every Friday at Hollywood Ballroom. We have new rules to help keep us safe. Prior to attending everyone must create an account, provide contact information, certify your vaccination status, upload a photo of your vaccination record and agree to follow all safety rules and our code of conduct. After your account is verified you may pre-purchase admission in advance of each Friday dance.
Inflation has been creeping in for years. Mostly globalism and new manufacturing techniques meant that instead of prices going up, unit sizes decreased, or quality declined. We’ve also been lucky that the rest of the world was worse off, so US dollars flowing out of the country weren’t coming back in at the same rate.
The caste system has been so good for India. I’m glad we’re re-inventing it here with Scientism instead of Hinduism.

Yeah, I’m with you on this but I don’t know if the price increases are due to lack of supply because the world freaked out last year or if the supply of money is SUPER HIGH, rendering it less valuable. Perhaps both.
There’s a consumer bubble pushing through, for sure. I wonder if that’ll be the summer freak out, then things will settle down.

Welcome to hell.
If we’re going to survive as a nation–though almost certainly not with the current governing system or “elite class”–someone’s got to get out the world that, yes, there is a better world and time beyond this, we can get through this, but we have to knuckle down and sacrifice and get the job done ourselves.
There is no farming this out. There is no voting someone in to get it done. We are on our own–and if we rise to the occasion, that is actually a very good thing.
We should, of course, expect opposition and interference. But honestly, when has it NOT been thus?
I rate our odds at somewhat less than 1 in 4.
so New York is going to separate vaccinated and unvaccinated fans at baseball games.
When do we break out the yellow star of davids, to facilitate identification of non-vaccinated people?
So stupid. I bet they all wear masks too.
so, I have to decide. Keep my running going, or go over to the golf course and hit a bucket of balls, to practice for golf league sub appearance.
Decisions, decisions…
Run to the golf course.

You’re right, that’s too few.

Lizzy lost this round. She thought Mitt and those other dumbasses (who have been censured in their own states) would speak on her behalf?? FFS their cowards. Did they really think we didn’t love Trump’s policies?
other theory is that she knows she is toast, and wanted to be a martyr, in preparation for scorched earth on the way out.
Hypothetical:
Trump dictatorship for life.
Or

I’d like to know how she’s so certain that the election was totally legit.
What’s her reasoning? Is it simply because people never lie for money, fame, wealth, or power? Ask dad about that.
Is it because if someone is installed as president they are legitimate and the election was as well? Do the ends justify the means?
Was JFK a legit president? Everyone knows he cheated in IL. This is a fact…about 60 years later. Did he cheat?
Why is she so certain?

Liz’s defiant speech to Congress! Enjoy, wingers!
bitch is still lying, saying Trump provoked the “Insurrection!”
The GOP establishment keeps insisting that the election was legitimate because a) they desperately wanted a “Trump was repudiated” narrative, and b) if they acknowledge that the election was marred by widescale fraud and corruption, then they might be expected to fight back against it. They want the first because they want to drive Trump out of the party so that they can resume their normal grift, and they want to avoid the second because, in my opinion, they are desperately afraid that any attempt to push back against the left will cause the situation to spiral out of control. In all aspects of political life: foreign policy, domestic policy, etc., the political establishment is desperate to keep the status quo as long as possible, even while the foundations for such a state are eroded beneath them.
The reign of First Citizen Barron will be amazeballz.
I don’t think it was anything to do with Liz. I think McCarthy is just trying to cover his ass and throwing her under the bus to take the focus off him, He is not much better than her and the gal replacing her was good on impeachment, but no one would call her a Trump supporter. None of the republican leadership is representative of the Trump base.

Like I said, Trump’s policies were to my benefit. He was working for me.
Pro Life
Lower taxes
Lower gas prices
Strong American Appearance
Superior SoS bringing real change in the Middle East
Better trade for America.
Energy Independence
Deregulation
Personal freedom
War draw down
So when some globalist, money grubbing, war mongering, bitch takes a swipe at Trump she’s doing it to me.
Fuck her and her POS dad.
They are cowards, plain and simple. Cowards live, but they don’t own any land, even that which they claim by pissing in the corners.
Mrs. Pupster was blissfully unaware of the gas situation until last evening when I clued her in, we were driving to a restaurant for dinner and talking it over when *ding* her low fuel warning came on.
McCarthy can fuck right off too. Thermadin is correct, he’s also a garbage person. That’s why everyone was so quiet, they have their own asses to cover and it ain’t with glory.

Well said, Alex.
Trump called Cheney “a bitter, horrible human being.”
Lol I love him even more.
He’s not wrong.
Trump slicin like a hammer. He gets a shirt.
Unless she becomes a Democrat her career in politics at a higher level is over. Now I know she’ll get high paying jobs on defense contracting boards or she could make millions and a shit news channel continually calling us Trump supporters rubes, but she’s done.

Okay, today’s the day I have to speak up. I’m not going to be silent anymore about who I am.
I pee in the shower. Like, all the time. Sometimes I take a shower just so I can pee in there. Hell, I’ve even stood outside of the shower and peed into it. This morning I peed into the sink, and I’m not going to be ashamed about it. I’m chugging a liter of water right now so I can pee into the trash can. Don’t like the way I deliberately pee all over the bathroom floor? Check your privilege, dick head. The only way I’m ever going to pee into a toilet ever again is if it’s straight into the water tank, and there is not a single thing any of you can do to stop me. Yes, it’s true that I’ve been training my muscles to relax so I can pee while at a dead sprint, gentleman’s sausage flopping around like an out of control firehouse. It’s who I am, and I refuse to apologize for it, or to clean up after myself.

I warned Paula and Ben yesterday to keep their tanks at least 3/4 full because eventually it’s coming our way. Also suggested Ben use the car rather than the Jeep for his job which is close to an hour’s drive each way.
I’m heading to the post office now and bringing the empty gas can I use for the lawn mower.

I filled the riding mower, the push mower, both gas cans, and the truck yesterday. If my wife had flown from South Bend, I’d have filled up the car, too.

I like how Liz Cheney defended the truth and all of its sacred glory by lying.

BWAHAHAHA
When I hear people like Lemon say that stuff I don’t believe it. WTF wouldn’t see their mother for a year because of covid?? What?
We stayed with my mother-in-law, 91 years old, twice in 2020. Hugs, hanging out, etc. Stayed with her once for 2,weeks once for 3 weeks. Took her to a couple of restaurants and had several whole family gatherings and this was in California.
There are things worse than death. I guess if you have no belief in a higher power all your eggs are in this world’s basket.
Lemons mama just using covid as an excuse to do what she already wanted to do……avoid her silly assed faggot of a son.
Unless I don’t get this at all, the vaccines are for mitigating symptoms. If that is the case then IF you believe masks prevent transmission (THEY DON’T) then shouldn’t you continue to wear them?
I think it’s all stupid so I don’t give a shit about covid, masks or vaccines. It’s a scam.
Hahahahaha

Wife has been in Florida and says Mask Mania is still going strong near where she’s staying (near Key Largo).
Rural Texas mask status report:
Grocery store, men 50/50 women 80/20 employees 100/0
Hardware store, men 20/80 women 50/50 employees 100/0 but many wear it down under their chin so that they can breathe.
7/11, 0% compliance from what I can tell
I haven’t really been anywhere else lately. I need a haircut pretty bad though. Starting to look like George Jones did the day he rode his lawnmower to the liquor store.
Baldness is a gift I’ve come to be thankful for.
We were just in the FL panhandle.
We didn’t wear a mask but signs all over the resort said they were mandatory. Guests were 20-80 mask to no mask.
I’d never been to the redneck riviera and pretty much loved it. Saw many F22s fly overhead.

Plenty of gas here at $2.99/gallon currently. I wondered where we got our gasoline from and did a search.
“Charlie Summers, president and CEO of the Maine Energy Marketers Association, says most gasoline comes to the state from Canada or Europe — and isn’t affected by the pipeline interruption.”
I would have guessed Canada but not Europe
The only places around here where people will challenge you on masks is the courthouse, the library, the hospital, and Costco. Everywhere else, we have signs saying they are mandatory but compliance appears to be voluntary.
In the rural counties, no one wears a mask because masks are stupid.
gas was 2.65 on Sunday. 2.95 today in Ames, 2.84 in DSM
We are super smart. GND went to the gas station. There are 100 people in line.
You’re too young to remember gas lines MJ but they were a thing in the 70’s. I was just a kid but I remember my dad being pissed about them. They had odd/even days that you could buy gas on depending on your license plate number.
Over in Ireland my Uncle Mike had a tank buried in his front yard and got hundreds of gallons delivered at a time for his HVAC business to avoid taxes.
This is Employee Appreciation Week at work and every day there’s a new Chinese made logo item given away. Monday was a little nylon backpack that I’ll use to store the blanket I carry in my truck and yesterday was a plastic travel mug. I opened a work email today and saw it was a logo face mask. But you can’t wear it at work, they don’t allow cloth masks. I can’t believe we have people paid to think of this crap. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Thursday and Friday!

I worked at a gas station during the Carter gas crisis.

There is something wrong with Whitmer. That’s just stupid.
Whitmer wants another crisis to call the shots on
She’s a bitch.
Yeah but her rationale for shutting it down is rock solid.
Activists feared it might spring a leak. Not experts. Not knowledgeable persons. Activists.
She has to keep cratering MI’s economy on the gamble of a bailout.
She won’t get it, but that’s all she’s got.
My favorite thing of all time is the jury admitting they let OJ off because they wanted revenge for Rodney King.
Letting a man kill two people because someone they don’t know got his ass kicked is the height of tribalism.
Granholm has some powerful position, I think.
MI is getting money or Whitmer is getting a better job. She’s going to win either way.
Jenny Grandstand is SecEnergy. She’s in charge of making sure no one has any.

I’m quoting the last sentence from this article:
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/553224-granholm-colonial-to-restart-operations-today
Gasoline prices also rose to over $3 per gallon on Wednesday for the first time since 2014, but they had already been rising as more parts of the economy re-open and more people get vaccinated against COVID-19
So you see, the reason gas prices have been rising is because say what now?
We have garbage, garbage press.
I did some cocktail napkin calculations regarding shutting down Line 5.
Cut and paste from my MARVELOUS facebook post:
“I hate to be a downer, but so much of the news is BAD and people need to know.
Let me introduce this little vignette as “Fuck the UP and Canada”
So, instead of line 5, fuel would have to be transported by tankers – which run on that magical unicorn farts and never, ever have any sort accidents or spills.
I have mentioned lately that we have a shortage of truck drivers? Because we do. It’s becoming a major problem in the Biden-Harris America.
A large tanker can carry 11,000 gallons of oil. A barrel is 42 gallons. So a tanker can carry 262 barrels of oil. Doing the math, that means we would need 2,061 LARGE tractor trailers moving fuel to make up for Line 5’s shutdown. Every day.
Michigan needs to stop electing stupid women as governors.
Carin,
What are you doing using math and logic. Shutting the pipeline down FEELS safer. Maybe she’s wanting a bribe to keep it open.
True. Plus math isn’t my strong suit.
liberal media talking points: “This gas shortage is all a big fuss about nothing – just like the toilet paper stuff”.
Repeated by many people. Do these people not even THINK? How do they remember to breath?
There isn’t much thinking going on in that group. The whole mask thing has been useful in pointing out the idiots around us. You see them wearing their mask when they are the only person in a car. Zero thought went into that decision like most things in their life.
Gas prices were already rising because Biden nixed Keystone XL on day fucking 1 and put 40,000 people out of work with the stroke of a pen as a bonus.
oh come on, leon, that was never proven!
Jay, are you aware of The Meater?
Have not used it yet, but I am very impressed.

Re Car in’s 6:32 comment: I don’t know where you’re getting your 11,000 gallon figure but. it’s a bit high. Crude weighs 7.2 lbs per gallon which would cause a net weight of 77,200 lbs. Over the road trucks in the US are limited to 80,000 lbs gross weight. This leaves only 2800 lbs for the truck itself. Now if we’re talking gasoline, it only weighs a hare over 6 lbs per gallon. So now we’re talking 66,000 net weight leaving 14,000 for the truck itself. 14,000 is about 2.5 times thee weight of a nice Suburban or Expedition. Still doesn’t work. Crude haulers in the Permian Basin top out at about 160 bbls when they’re hauling from battery to battery over the open highway.

——-
This is what I’ve seen too as far as who Liz Cheney’s biggest defenders appear to be
I googled how much a tractor could carry . The figured varied, but that was the number for the largest trucks . The 2061 is therefor the lowest number – with the largest haulers – that would be needed. Even my lowball estimate is a lot of trucks.
Yep. # of loads per day would increase significantly. Also not figured in is distance. Is it possible to make one round trip per truck per day. In the US, truckers are limited to 11 hours road time per day. Maybe 600 miles under best possible conditions.
