What a day a difference makes

I thought the Dems were the show-biz types. 

I was wrong. The Republicans kicked their asses in the 'How to throw a convention' department... 


By the way, this is my now world-famous Lanai, 
or as I like to call it, my second living room.

Chris Rock did a nice little riff a while back about why we'd never have a black Vice-President. Funny stuff.

She sure is a class act.


Pelosi says there shouldn't be any 
debates between Biden and Trump

Nancy Pelosi - a truly hateful old bag of shit - said Thursday she doesn’t think there should be any presidential debates ahead of the November election, arguing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden shouldn't "legitimize" a discussion with President Trump.

“I don’t think that there should be any debates,” Pelosi told reporters. “I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that anybody has any association with truth, evidence, data and facts.”

“I wouldn’t legitimize a conversation with him nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States,” she added. 

Instead, Pelosi proposed that the candidates take separate stages and answer questions about their policies in a “conversation with the American people” instead of “an exercise in skulduggery.” 
... 

The size she uses depends on what kinda mood 
Pelosi's in on any given day.


Holy fuck, no thanks. Jeezzzz.

I haven't bought (as in 'paid for' at a newstand or store) a newspaper of any kind for probably 20 years at least. When did a daily paper like the NY Daily News  or the Post go up to $ 2 bucks? Geez Louise...

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul and his wife were attacked by a mob of protesters as they left the White House Thursday. Raucous protesters accosted Republican National Convention guests leaving the White House, after they tried to drown out Trump's speech with bullhorns and drums. Protesters were heard chanting 'No justice, no peace' and 'Black Lives Matter'. 

Video shows Paul and wife Kelley being surrounded by dozens of activists and aggressively accosted as they leave the Republican National Convention, where Trump had just accepted the party's nomination, as police officers try to hold the crowd back. 

At one point an officer holding a bicycle to shield the couple from the demonstrators was shoved backwards, stumbling into Paul and almost knocking the Kentucky senator to the ground.

Ya know they wouldn't do this kinda shit in a concealed-carry state like Florida or Texas. Just would NOT happen. The muthfuckin' scumbags.

Fox News Channel averaged 7.1 million viewers during the 10 p.m. ET hour on night three of the Republican National Convention Wednesday, while no other network cracked the two million viewer plateau. 


The viewership for Fox News’ coverage – hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum - topped that of ABC, NBC and CBS combined.

March 1944 - Hundreds of pictures of pin-up girls adorn the entire wall of this bomber crew shack on Adak Island in the Aleutians in Alaska during World War II. That musta been a seriously fucked MOS, but still woulda beat the fuck outta hittin' the beaches in the South Pacific.

Liberty University graduate claims Jerry Falwell Jr.'s wife Becki climbed into bed and performed oral sex on him when he stayed at their home after band practice with their son in 2008

I couldn't make shit like this up on my most creative day.

Summer's almost over already and you're still grilling with that same old lame ass grill set? Dude - please.




You could probably use a new grill tool set. 
This one's really nice.

Take a look here:

In June, public broadcaster NHK aired a segment to explain to Japanese audiences what was happening in the US, with the protests over George Floyd's death. The report, in a news show aimed at younger audiences, featured an animated video depicting the protesters as grotesque stereotypes, deeply steeped in racist imagery: caricatures with exaggerated muscles and angry faces, and with looters in the background.

The reaction was largely negative - the US embassy called the segment "offensive and insensitive". One particularly vocal critic was Baye McNeil, an African-American teacher, author, columnist and long-time Japan resident. He tweeted that it was an "offensive racist commentary" and it was time for Japan to stop the "lame excuses" on handling of black issues.


I'm starting to think that these BLM people 
are their own worst enemies. Juss' sayin'.

I need somebody to walk up to me on the street, put their hand gently on my shoulder, and explain to me in small words and short sentences, just exactly how the fuck this flag could, in any possible fuckin' way, be 'racist'.

It has been a rough year for the brick-and-mortar retail industry, which already had been struggling.


JCPenney, Neiman Marcus and Sears are department stores that also have filed for bankruptcy during the coronavirus pandemic, along with Brooks Brothers, New York & Company, Sur La Table, Pier 1 Imports and Lucky Brand.

However, as the brick-and-mortal retail industry suffers, there have been huge spikes in online shopping over the past several months, and companies have pulled out all the stops to take advantage of the surge.

 In coastal Cameron Parish, La., search-and-rescue helicopters flew low over Holly Beach on Thursday. 


Coverage of the convention has kinda over-shadowed news reports from the areas where the storm hit, but I'm sure these guys got their asses kicked. 

I've been through a dozen or more hurricanes during my stints in the Caribbean and here in Florida, and I'll tell ya - the may be good for (my) business, but they really do suck.
...

I'll leave ya with this:



Spend seven seconds thinking about how this is kinda cool and okay, but if I did the same thing with two guys, most of you would freak the fuck out. 

It's just a question to ponder - don't freak out. The girls stay.

  2. Service in the Aleutians was ghastly. It was said pilots were old or bold, never both, and there was a woman behind every tree.*

    Second costliest invasion of the Pacific war, after Iwo, was Attu. Trench foot and frostbite took out hundreds in the 7th Division. First banzai charge in the Pacific.

    *Needless to say, very few trees in the Aleutians
