Good morning, and welcome to another edition of Hunky Hump Day.
First, the song. Not my usual fare, but it was the background of a Chosen cast video, and I thought it was catchy.
Birthday boy (and redhead for Carin) Dallas Roberts.
Me Jane, you Tarzan.
Better late than never.
Birthday boy Adam Kauffman.
Thinking of a Bryan Adams song.
Last, but not least.
Thanks to Pirate’s Cove for the linky love every week. Y’all have a good day. Prayers for Mini-me and the last exam for this semester.

Good morning, and may the day greet you with the warmth of celestial affection.
Sorry, celestial affectation is all that is available this shift.
Still better than yesterday’s Celestial Affliction
POL is really fun. It brings back memories for sure. Sad to see some of our H2ers are gone forever and some have drifted away. Nothing ever stays the same.
I love putting a face to the comments.
*takes a few bites of Celeriac Affogado*
Hmm. It’s different. You don’t expect that flavor in a dessert.
One thing I love about this blog is that we rarely discuss Celebrity Affairs. It’s nice to get away from that nonsense.
Romacita, check your innie.
Most of our celebrity coverage is of the point-and-laugh variety
Affogado*
No, affogadyou!
Oh man. Did you see that current celebrity commented on current issue?
Wow, that was ______.
Wow, that was “a shit show.”

We’re going to have to get used to “Joe Biden’s new Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre” rather than reflexively referencing Psaki.
KJP?
“That Lesbo”?
Cunt?
I’m sure a new moniker will sort itself out over the next few weeks when she’s peddling the daily disinformation
Time to start hardening off my forest of indoor raised seedlings this week. Psyched to get them all out of the house. Got to take down the greenhouse tent too. Booyah.

What’s all this yellow glitter shit all over the place.

According to what Scott told me last night, her background consists of calling every single thing racist. So this should be fun. In response, Fox needs to swap out Peter Doocy for Candace Owens.
As the celestial (scrolls back up to see what the other word was) affection was cascading down upon me this morning, I had a thought about Biden’s new scary name calling. Ultra Maga.
Which is funny, because he’s calling folks evil who literally, in their name, want to Make America great Again.
The Never Trumpers response to “maga” has always been “ewwww”
And the left’s response is “America never was great”.
Which really sums up a lot.
But maybe I was still only half awake.
OMG, that would be awesome.
calling every single thing racist
——
Can’t wait
Honestly, the left should just stay away from attacking the phrase MAGA. The the right should be a bit more vocal in pointing all of this out.
This lady is crazy. As are the people on the zoom call with her: https://summit.news/2022/05/11/biden-disinformation-czar-demands-power-to-edit-other-peoples-tweets/
Will Douchebag Colbert ever recant of his over-the-top fake vaccine boosterism now that’s gotten Kung Flu twice so badly he had to shut down production?
Spoiler: No, he won’t. He will go to his grave an unrepentant lying sack of crap.
Reference:
https://summit.news/2022/05/10/stephen-colbert-catches-covid-for-second-time-in-the-space-of-3-weeks-after-thanking-vaccine-efficacy/
Now that it appears that vaccine complications are more severe if you already had covid before you were vaxxed, I think Colbert should go get a few more jabs. Just to show all of us.

Pretty sure reporting that someone got Covid several times after being triple boosted is misinformation.
Best decision I’ve made in a long time. My 11th booster will keep me from getting covid for the 9th time.
I used to feel badly that I don’t have a PCP/ family doctor, but now I feel great about it. I didn’t have a trusted someone to propagandize lies to me.
Zero jabs, zero coof. Just saying.
Also, who TF ordered the cilantro absinthe?
oh you’ll get covid. The cold just won’t be as bad, and you’ll get a coupon for .50 off kleenex at an approved big box store.
I have an NP and a PA as my PCP. I write all my concerns down and the action plan before my annual visit and they just rubber stamp it. Easy Peasy. My MD left a few years ago to work for the Air Guard full time. He was excellent. Paula went to HS with him and I remember him as a resident way back when I started.
Ultra MAGA?
Try Ultra Brandon
Ultra MAGA is really funny and I am sure, like everything Joe touches, it will backfire on him spectacularly
Recently, even Bill “man boobs, soft gut” Gates has said the fatality rate for Covid is about the same for the flu and it’s mostly a virus that hits older people the hardest.
Interesting, many of us here said that about 3 years ago.
Bill is a lucky midwit born into money who stole the right things at the right time, nothing more, but he’s taken his success as proof of his genius.
I’m ULTRAMAGA, and proud of it.
One group of “impenetrables” are those who were skeptical and then Someone They Know ™ got the coof and died.
They come at you with “I thought just as you did, and then my great Aunt Sophia got it and DIED”.
They usually leave out details of age, general health, etc.
Having someone that died is their shield.
HyperMAGA.
Get on my level.
Last week there was an email sent out at work regarding the proper way to schedule a cancer screening chest CT so it will be approved by insurance. Someone with fat fingers sent it to the entire physician group, 85+% who have no need to know about it. There must be over 100 Reply All emails requesting to be removed from the email. There have been a handful of emails instructing people how to mark the box so it will be ignored but it’s more fun to hit Reply All “Remove me”
Pray for Oso today. I’m going to help my mom. I’m breaking a loaded gun. Also ,I’m cleaning her kitchen. Which I’m pretty sure is going to look like a scene out of a reality show.
I’m just going to need her to stay the hell away from me. the only thing that will make this worse is if she tries to micromanage.
breaking – bringing.
REMOVE ME
Unload the gun before you break it. That’s how people lose fingers.
This. The left is so fucking stupid.
Weather affects my Detroit visits. Nice weather -bring a gun. COld, raining, snowing, etc … no gun is needed.
Social justice heals. lol. How fucking stupid can you be?
There are so many ways you can go with this.
Nice yards are racist? Or a white thing?
Or the downtrodden don’t know they shouldn’t put garbage in their yard?
Honestly, “Social Justice Heals” doesn’t want to have a conversation with me about this. She’d probably just start yelling or crying anyway.
good lord, socialjusticeheals is stupid, and didn’t think that out. Yet they feel that is a win.

Leon, my chipper is a Cub Cadet CS3310. I bought it in 2016 and honest injun only used it one time for about four hours that year. It has been stored in my shed ever since.
I thought I’d get it out this weekend and dust it off. Don’t see why it wouldn’t fire right up.
I paid $740 for it. (I thought I bought it at Tractor Supply, but HotBride reminded me that they were out of them and we went to Home Depot to get it.) I still have the receipt.
I’ll buy it off you at that price if that works for you. Should be able to come get it next weekend.
car wash should have charged me $4 last night, I see it charged me $16. Lovely
make sure he washes the blood out first, leon. Don’t want a murder investigation.
Good point.
I’ll let you know if its starts okay and is otherwise fine. First I have to move the lawnmower and a bunch of other shit to get to it.
Eh, I’ve got ammonia here.
So the FDA shut down baby formula factories in Michigan and Texas for bacteria. No word on when they can reopen.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10801581/FDA-refuses-say-baby-formula-plant-reopen-despite-companys-claims-facility-safe.html
leon needs to go clean up that plant, in Sturgis MI
As to those two neighborhood scenes, I’m going to posit that those are Habitat For Humanity houses. A bunch of smug liberals build the damn things, give them to some otherwise unqualified people of color, then go back to their safe neighborhoods feeling like they have rescued humanity.
They never go back to the houses, they never otherwise lend a helping hand, and they never stop to think that you can’t change a culture by giving away free shit.
It’s the so-called soft racism of low expectations.
But we’re the racists.
Mine is bigger.
I sincerely doubt the Sturgis plant is actually dirty, but if Wretched has any juice, the FDA will let it open up first.
The government at work right there.
FDA peps are probably still working from home.
they are arguing over who is at fault. Abbott (oh look, the maker of covid tests and testing equipment) says they aren’t at fault. Govt says can’t open.
Yet we import from China, where who knows what safeguards are in place.
I’d settle for making America America again.
i was mistaken, in thinking that Ukraine was the same size as Texas. I was thinking economically. It is not. Texas is 10X the GDP of Ukraine, which is 155 billion. So 40 billion is 1/4 of all economic output for a year, and we just willy nilly hand it over.
*spit
Have we actually sent it, or was that just the ask/suggestion? Where’s Biden getting it? The Stash?

Passed the house,
The bill passed 368 to 57. It will now go to the Senate and then to Mr. Biden’s desk. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said ahead of the vote that the Senate will act on the aid package “as soon as possible.”
That Scatman John has a pretty amazing life story. Debilitating stutter that he somehow overcame to become something of a pop star back in the 90s.
Disappointed my rep, Feenstra, did NOT vote against this.
I need to write a grant request for some of that to pay for my tractor. For the glory of Ukraine.
That Scatman John has a pretty amazing life story. Debilitating stutter that he somehow overcame to become something of a pop star back in the 90s.
Yeah, I’m not surprised the Chosen cast picked it. Talk about strength made perfect in weakness, that guy lived it.
Mine is bigger.
LOL
I bet.
Mr Feenstra just received a strongly worded letter. He usually responds.
Isn’t singing one of the therapies used to combat a stutter, or am I thinking of something else?
It is, but he turned a stutter into singing.
For Mitch McConnell to say that Ukraine is the most important issue for them tells me the bubble this motherf*cker lives in is full of unicorns and Pelosi farts.
40 billion. 40 billion dollars. If they are just going to print money WTF do we pay taxes?
I know why.
The tax code has long been merely a set of carrots and sticks. Revenues are meaningless.
I’ll know DeSantis is THE patriot when he gets rid of residential property tax and doesn’t allow conglomerates to buy more than an acre per 100,000 surrounding acres.
property tax won’t go away. is there any place where there isn’t one?
No, but it’s pretty low in some places, and lots of states have exemptions for retirees or disabled veterans, not that it helps most folks not in those categories.
Richard Grenell is on fire.
I mean, literally lighting himself on fire. Can’t believe he’s doing this. He’s over for conservatives if he keeps up this attack on Barnette, over a lie.
In Michigan the vast majority of property taxes go to the fucking government schools.
Get rid of these groomer incompetent cum guzzlers and taxes wouldn’t be that bad.

That’s one reason the code is so complicated. Social engineering provisions and special rules for business make the tax code a rats nest.

Same here, HS, same in most places I expect. Alabama Educrat Association keeps pushing for tax increases to “improve funding” (read they want to buy a bigger house for the lobbyists and administrators). Somehow the schools get worse even when the taxes go up. Tells me all I need to know.
Houston police found and returned the stolen tabernacle from the desecration on Mother’s day. It was returned empty, but that’s the end of the investigation from Houston PD.
Satan smiles.
I was just talking with a customer support chick at West Marine. She asked me my email, and when I told her she said, “Oh, are you a Hotspur fan?”
And I said, “You mean the books?”
And she said, “No, the soccer team.”
To which I replied, “Certainly not. Soccer isn’t an American sport.”
Then she said her husband was a big Tottenham fan.
To which I replied, “Oh, is he a foreigner?”
She didn’t appreciate that.
Making friends with all the right people!
Christ, why is business giving Karl Rove a soap box to stand on?
^ he can talk a great ball game, but he was part of the admin that gave us DHS. F*** him.
Because he does what they pay him to do, DNH.
So do prostitutes, Leon!
And whores who show up and do what you pay them for stay in the rolodex. Simple as.
Maybe that’s why the left want’s to normalize sex work so badly.
And the rest of us should be grateful, in their eyes, to have it rammed up our poop chutes.
Perhaps DHS could or does perform a legit function, buy as part of central government, an entity with absolutely zero definitions of roles and responsibilities other than spelled out in the Constitution, which they routinely ignore, it’s just another agency to pass the buck to while making excuses for failures.
Karl Rove writes an occasional column for the WSJ opinion page. I use it to monitor the GOPe take on current events
DHS was an opportunity to re-organize federal law enforcement and displace a lot of the old corruption with a new hierarchy.
This opportunity was immediately squandered in favor of new corruption.
I’m gonna have to google GOPe sometime. I’ve been seeing it a lot lately, but don’t get the meaning.
Probably just missed the memo.
Grand Old Party (establishment). Karl Rove’s real party, Republican advocacy solely as a business/grift. Failure theater and fundraising. GazProm and LukOil jobs for family members.
After yesterdays presser flopped, Brandon blames Trump, who’s not running for any office, for his self inflicted problems.
^ Elon will be next.
Hey fat, I inherited this problem. Neither I or my staff is smart enough to solve it. Enjoy your lives & vote for my team!

I’ve been watching him implode and can’t get over it. Why is he so invested in Oz?
Bitcoin tanked again today, if this keeps up I’m gonna have to invest in funeral homes….. Unless Brandon decides to stabilize the dollar by having the printers add an extra zero to the right on all the currency they print and EO a 10X wage increase for all Americans.
How the hell did I wake up in Zimbabwe?
I don’t like property taxes because you NEVER own your home.
I’d rather pay for schools some other way.
I don’t know the answer but I absolutely know that school administrations are top-heavy and a lot of school district money goes to those top earners and to buildings.
It also goes to a bunch of deadweight losers who have no employable skills. That’s who we allow to teach our children about queers, masturbating, and masturbating queers.
Indiana initially rationalized legal gambling (the lottery) with the promise it would pay for schools. For the most part it has, but it was repubs that brought up the idea and executed, only a matter of time until the pendulum swings and dems use it to line their pockets. On that topic, we’re not far away, Holcum is a cock sucking Indy rino.
Every song she sings is great
^ with ambitions of becoming a U.S. senator. Not gonna happen.
They legalized LOTTO! in WA to pay for schools, yet every year there are bond issues on the ballot to pay for schools. Do it for the children! It seems that the renters with kids vote for it like mad. Us old fogeys with no children see our property tax go up & up, for the children…
Other than Fort Wayne & Indy (yeah there are a few also rans that wish they were relevant) Indiana is one of the most tedious states to take a road trip through because it’s rural. Making the lotto legal actually works, every hick thinks they can rub elbows with billionaires if their numbers are drawn. Worked so well that the legislature, prior to Holcum, placed limits on property tax rates, for instance,1% of assessed value for residentials, and every year the assessor must mail an assessment to the property owner with the chance to protest assessed value, Farm land is capped at 2%, should be higher given the free cheese central gives farmers, 3% for industrial.
Indiana has raked in enough that they’re sending an additional $125 to every tax payer as an overpayment on sate taxes, which is “big whoop” but given Brandon, every little bit helps.
We loved Ft Wayne last year. I was afraid to watch the last season of After Life. Dan watched with me. I’m crying like a little bitch.

Great. H2 and Scott to calm us the fuck down. I’m still at eleventy, but now we know what is what. True Story, Even Steven, Andy, and Wiserbud, are my Northstar.

The millage was for new radios. For the FD.
One thing I love about this blog is that we rarely discuss Celebrity Affairs.
Mini-me asked me to give the Cliff Notes version of the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard thing, and I told her no can do, I’ve ignored it as much as possible, even the memes.
Johnny Depp is a shitty person. Amber Heard may actually be a goddamn monster that even he didn’t deserve.
Thus endeth the note.
Meant to link this video this morning, didn’t get a chance.
They look like they are having fun. I would buy George Xanthis (plays disciple John) a beer.
Lumps, thank you for the info.
Roamy, have you seen chosensux.com?
Yep, no idea what the Depp/Heard thing is about. Don’t care.
If it ends #metoo, it’s a good thingtm.
Basically, it’s a dumpster fire that couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple.
But Amber got Johnny’s dog in the divorce. The one he inherited from his mom when she died.
She gave it to her dad. Who’s done time for running illegal dog fighting rings.
So Johnny’s basically a saint by comparison to the bedshitting dog murderer.
I wonder if Stephen Colbert was given paxlovid. Someone here linked to the substack that showed people given that new drug can’t clear the virus and have a recurrence a few days later.
Leon, yes, and I lol’d at the Nickelback and the DMV.
Hope it was helpful Romacita. Was that all?
Hannity just went all-in on attacking Barnette and had Oz on about it too. They really want to knock her out of the race. At one point Oz misrepresented something she had said. I only knew it because I had seen the original quote earlier today.
Oh, and Hannity showed tweets of hers where she was calling Trump a phony, a liberal NY dem in R clothing. The tweets were from 2015 and 2016. Yeah, I called him that back then too. Lots of people did. It was the primaries.
Baby formula is just the beginning, guys. Prep.
Lumps, yes, that was it. Danke schon.
You guys were right, Tombstone was a good show.
so, are you his huckleberry now?
If it means challenging him to a gunfight, then no.
Oh, I forgot to share some sorta good news today. Crooked seller with 100% failure rate of his components has been fined and permanently banned from ever selling to the gov’t again. Company and CEO both banned. “Egregious disregard for quality and performance.”
First time I’ve ever seen that. No more changing the company name and trying to sell the same shit. No more lowball bids. ‘Bout damn time.
Dolores eventually received payment.
