They just can't get their stories staight...

KJP says one thing, Pelosi says it was 'an episode',

and Joe says he was 'jet-lagged'...

Kareem John Peter said her boss was suffering from a cold and that's the reason he couldn't craft a single coherent thought or statement.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, Joe was out there saying he was jet-lagged and groggy from having to travel all the way from Camp David to Atlanta, or maybe it was because of all of the foreign travelling he had done a week before he spent a week relaxing and studying for his finals at his playhouse in the country.

Do you know how you can tell when KJP is lying? Her lips are moving...

...

That's a story straight out of National Enquirer, right?

Nope - actually, it was the New York Times...

...

I may have posted this already, but it's still pretty funny.

...

That's one of those kinda memes that doesn't make any sense. How could someone possibly know either one of those amounts? And more to the point, what's the point of trying to make that point? It's pointless.

...

"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting..."

- Ronald Reagan

...

'Calling all crackheads!' - White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Hunter Biden’s presence was due to the holiday week, noting he was close to his father. She would not say whether he was meeting with senior West Wing advisers.

I can't be the only one here who thinks this is fuckin' hilarious...

Daybreak on a par 5...

Tuesday, July 2, 2024

Your Tuesday night HillBetty from our friends at Twisted Hillbilly is here...

Okay, here's one for you. Don't cheat FFS...

How the hell can it be the most popular drink when I never heard of it. I'm a goddamn trained professional FFS...

WTF is an 'aperol spritz' and what Gen-Z goofballs are drinking it when I've never even heard of it, let alone seen one on any drink mneu (although granted the gin mills I frequent don't have 'drink menus').

Anyway, Aperol is a botanical liqueur that's been made in Italy for over a hundred years. The bright orange beverage was invented by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in 1919 in Padua, Italy. It's technically considered a type of amaro, which is categorized by its bitterness (the word amaro itself translates to bitter).

Sounds friggin' yummy. Where can I get one?

Even better, can we do Redbull Aperol shots? Jeez...

If CNN says it, it must be true, right? HolyMackle, Andy - hold the presses...

CNN — This polling was released today. They are reporting that fully three-quarters of ALL US voters say the Democratic Party would have a better shot at holding the presidency in 2024 with someone other than President Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS. His approval rating also has hit a new low following a shaky performance in the first debate of this year’s presidential campaign.

In a matchup between the presumptive major-party nominees, voters nationwide favor former President Donald Trump over Biden by 6 points, 49% to 43%, identical to the results of CNN’s national poll on the presidential race in April, and consistent with the lead Trump has held in CNN polling back to last fall.

They lie to us even in the bread aisle...

Calvin unleashes on that small, bucolic little town...

The kid has the answer. And a black eye...

God - I thought I was the only one who noticed that orange tinge...

Was that a spray tan? You betcher ass it was. Either way, it's pretty friggin' hilarious, if ya think about it. Some flack in his campaign must have noticed that he looked like the living dead in the debate, and came up with the idea that if Joe can't beat 'the orange man', he might as well join him.

On a seperate note, did you notice, as the camera panned away from him at the end of the address, that the teleprompter screens were about 18" from his face? He moved his head back and forth between them so often it looked like he was watching a tennis match. Juss' sayin'...

The Summer of Love was a major social phenomenon that occurred in San Francisco during the summer of 1967. As many as 100,000 people, mostly young people, hippies, beatniks, and 1960s counterculture figures, converged in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district and Golden Gate Park. It's impossible for me to get my head around the idea that that took place more than a half-century ago. I got there five years later and it was still vibraant and silly and fun, but you could already see in '72 that it was sliding down a very slippery slope. Kids looking at SanFran nowadays wouldn't be able to grasp the concept.

...

I've said it before and you'll probably hear me say it 42 more times.

That place has to be a fun frickin' place to work.

This picture of Collier Pool, one of the 116 pools in The Villages. was taken by my friend Ron Clark, a very accomplished amateur photographer. Of the number of pools here, the vast majority of them are what we know as 'community pools' that are open to residents in all of the different Villages (read 'communities') here. They are not considered 'family pools' because no on under 35 years of age are allowed in them. The country club pools do cater to families and guests.

This is the Orange Blossom Country Club swimming pool that's four blocks from my house. Many consider it the nicest of all of the CC pools in The Villages. Life is good when you take advantage of it...

Of course it's a 'public safety issue'. It wouldn't be a cash-grab by the State, would it? I mean c'mon, man they really are concerned about your welfare, aren't they? Consider New York State who just went through one of those 'Click it or Ticket' campaigns. New York State issued more than 112,000 tickets during its most recent "Buckle Up New York, Click it or Ticket" initiative that ran from May 20th to June 2nd. The average ticket was $ 210.00. Granted, not all of those 112k were for seat belt 'violations', but a crackdown is a crackdown, and it's all done in our best interests, right? You can do the math on that one...
