Warren Decides to Murder Bloomberg, 6 Days After Killing Him


Elizabeth Warren, a truly vicious cunt if ever there was one, used the debate stage last to take a hatchet to Mike Bloomberg’s record—delivering some brutal moments that could do lasting damage to the former New York City mayor’s bullshit idea of a campaign.

The two got into it early, when the CBS News 'moderators' asked the Massachusetts liberal why she thought Bloomberg was the riskiest choice for the party. After pointing out that Democrats shouldn’t trust the billionaire philanthropist—citing his financial support of South Carolina’s GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who she called 'a liberal bogeyman'—Warren laid into a weak spot for the former corporate titan in a Democratic primary: his company’s treatment of women.  


What's not to love about the Post?

Warren referenced news reporting about Bloomberg’s businesses that said women were treated unfairly and discriminated against—behavior that included sexist jokes and comments from Bloomberg himself. The most heated part of the exchange came when Warren referenced a claim in a Washington Post story that Bloomberg once told a female employee of his to terminate her pregnancy by saying, “kill it.”

“Categorically never said it,” said Bloomberg. “When I was accused of doing it, we couldn't figure out what she was talking about. But right now, I'm sorry if she heard what she thought she heard or whatever happened, I didn't take any pleasure in that.

This is what passes for news down here 
in cranky old fart land...


The story is here. I can't add anything to it:

Bad news never ends in Yankeeland.


The Yanks drastically changed their medical personnel in the offseason after leading the league in MRIs. Yet, the ache James Paxton felt in his back last postseason and Severino in his arm were treated conservatively through the breadth of the offseason before ultimately leading to surgeries; late enough to cost Paxton the beginning of 2020 and Severino likely the beginning of next year. 


With Severino and Paxton as Nos. 2 and 3 starters behind Gerrit Cole, the Yanks were envisioning a rotation becoming as long and powerful as their lineup. Now, Severino is gone and Paxton is due back around June, about when Domingo German’s suspension for violating MLB’s domestic abuse policy concludes (he is out for 63 more games). This is how a season begins in which the Yankees have the majors’ largest payroll and expectations.

I kinda thought this was how it was done but I couldn't be sure...

Can you even imagine the balls 
on this little POS?


Mass murderer and white supremacist Dylann Roof staged a hunger strike on death row earlier this month to protest 'poor treatment' he was allegedly receiving from prison staff. 

Roof, 25, is currently awaiting execution inside a Federal Prison in Indiana after a jury sentenced him to death for the mass shooting of nine black worshipers at a Charleston church in June 2015. In a letter sent to the Associated Press on February 13, Roof claims that he has been 'verbally harassed and abused', 'targeted' and 'treated disproportionately harsh' by employees of the prison. 

You'll forgive me for asking but isn't a 'hunger strike' while you're on 'death row' about the stupidest fucking thing you could imagine?

This just in from the 'Well, that blows the fuck outta the whole life on earth as we know it theorydepartment: 


Researchers have discovered the only known animal that does not need oxygen to survive, a common parasite that largely preys on salmon. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that the parasite Henneguya salminicola does not require aerobic respiration in order to survive — a revelation that may change how we understand life on Earth and beyond.

The multicellular organism, which is part of a group of animals closely related to jellyfish known as the Myxozoa, does not breathe at all and does not have mitochondrial DNA.

It's the first multicellular animal found in the wild to not have the DNA, which contains the genes responsible for respiration, and has lost "the ability to perform aerobic cellular respiration," per the study. Some single-celled organisms do not need respiration to survive.

Did you have these when you were a kid?

Ya know, when I was a kid, model airplane building consumed me. I cannot tell you where one of them might be now - I think I blew them all up with cherry bombs and asshcans when I was high. Who knows. I am happy to see that the BEST of all of the model-kit makers is still alive and well. Back then we knew if the kit was from Revel, it was gonna be really good and a little challenging.

N.J. man paid for gas with $100 bill marked 
‘For Motion Picture Use Only,’ cops say


A clerk at a Middlesex County gas station unwittingly accepted a fake $100 bill that was intended to be used in movies, authorities said.

South Brunswick police on Monday tweeted a photo of the front and back of the phony bill, which has the words “For Motion Picture Use Only,” printed on both sides. Detectives tracked down a 20-year-old Somerset County man who said “he was surprised the clerk took the money,” police said in the tweet.
