"Computer models suggest that warmer-than-normal conditions will replace the wintry weather over the next week or two."
And, yet, their same computer models didn't have 'Average Temps for Whole Month of November in The Lower 48 States of 31.3 degrees Which is More than 10 degrees Below Average' on their Fall '23 Bingo Cards.
* I should note that 31.3 deg Fahrenheit is just below freeezing, slightly sub-0 degrees Celsius. If 'Journalismists were Global Coolers, the headline would read: "Average Temps sub-Zero for entire Month of November in Lower 48 States."
And the sub-head would be, "Is it time to release the carbon dioxide, peeps?"
I'm a Much Warmer, thanks. It would be perfect timing for my life cycle, not to mention my narcissism, but I hear the universe is *still* expanding, damn it (what I'd *really* like is a big bang do-over...but don't tell the Mrs. iykwim, wink, wink), so maybe I'll join you and Luke.
Another great FFSF Lillia! Thank you for the smiles on these oh so serious subjects. Our country has so many issues of our own making that we have to laugh to avoid crying.
For the next global crisis, the State can pivot back to the coming ice age. It's been a few decades since they used that one, and we Americans are still at fault.
"I mean, abandoning him to be filtered through the digestive track of the local ursine population doesn’t quite have the same poetic appeal as his losing body parts to leprosy contracted from a bat, but . . . beggars can’t be choosers." That would be too easy a death for the man. He needs to suffer, and suffer for a long, long time.
"Your average rat lives—what?—two to four years. " Unless they're in the Senate, then the average is more like 80 or 90. Oh wait, those are rats of the human variety. Actual rats probably wouldn't be any worse.
Thanks for mentioning HRC. Lil, did you see TGIF this week yet? Her comments about Hillary about made me sick. I love Nellie, but sometimes she's way over the top! I don't usually comment there, but had to when I read that part.
I saw that. I chuckled. What Ms. Bowles doesn't understand is HRC would turn on Nellie's "side" in a half a heartbeat if she thought it would benefit her. She'd be calling Hamas heroes if she thought that was the way the political wind was really blowing.
But then again she seems to be in love with Gavin Newsom, who with HRC and Kamala are in a three way race for the fakest person on the planet.
Bari Weiss and Bill Maher (and liberals like them) still think they can "save" the Democrat Party because they're still locked in that spectrum mindset and actually believe the parties are different and the Democrats are liberal rather than a political power machine with a liberal facade.
As for Nellie Bowles, I think she legitimately thinks the center is the healthy part instead of understanding the center of this thing is the rot.
No, they aren't, but most of the time it's where I get my "other" info. Every year when it's up for renewal, I consider cancelling, then don't. I've subscribed to Bari pretty much since she quit NYT. I respected her for that, and continue to, but she's too liberal to read all the time. Lots of time I just skim.
Bari Weiss et al is still transitioning from modern to classical liberalism. It's good to reward her for this by continuing your support, but Taibbi, The Federalist (among many others), and RealClearPolitics (especially for the "oppo research", not to mention the jarring juxtaposition) are the resources of our revolution, imo.

Yep. Not to offend anyone, but most 60's Leftists haven't figured out that they are on the Right today, because most of them still put Fascism on the wrong endpoint.
[Hitler and Mussolini were LEFTISTS (100% State control, zero-zip-nada individual agency). The Fascist Adolf was simply getting rid of the competition when he went after the Fascist Joseph P.
There can be only 1 (one) King.]*
Young peeps today have been taught by their indoctrinators on the (Marxist) Left that Fascism (another word for *crony*-capitalism) is the right endpoint, so they don't differentiate between the neo-con Republicans and us Classical Liberal (another term for true Capitalism) Republicans.
Sorry to go on repeating myself so, and
* Sorry for saying "Hitler", but...he *is* the archetypical Authoritarin Socialist (yet *another* term for Fascist.)
I won't do it for Substack or other subs I pay for. I'm a capitalist. But I'm pretty well confident that NYT is a quasi-BigFedGov Op and doesn't need my support.
Poor little boy of Anthony Blinken! I can't imagine that he begged his mom and dad to let him be Zelensky. His father used him to make a statement, but to whom?
"I call BS on this story. Unless the man was an elf, there’s not enough skin there to make a tank top much less a whole outfit."
Murkowski kinda has the look of a Lizard People, though. You could fit another Lizard People inside there. I mean, how bad a Lizard People do you have to be to fit a worser Lizard People than Lisa Murkowski that skin suit?
"Just think of it this way. Your average rat lives—what?—two to four years. No need for term limits, we can pay them in cheese, and no need for pensions."
Brilliant. Cut the deficit to managable in a year.
Of course, you've always known that you can have any place in the coming Pi Administration of your choosing, Lil. Name Your Title and you'll be free to rule as you see fit.
I assume as your only logical choice for Secretary of Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco, (after your landslide win next year), I will be charged with shepherding legislation through Congress to carefully define "day", "drinking", and "morning". (And outlaw 'light beer')
"He’s not holding anything hostage but Graham’s ability to go back to his office and play with his GI Joe figures and pretend he’s General Patton."
That right there's funny, I don't care who you are.
But, being me, in my head, I saw Graham standing on his desk in his old Air Force dress blue shirt and jacket, garters holding up his "Queers for Palestine" socks, his GI Joe in one hand, binoculars in the other screaming:
It was pretty freaky. We were in bed and Dante the Husky Dawg was up with us, as he is sometiems in the first part of the night. We're watching TV but the light's out. Mrs. Pi's already lightly snoring on her side. I'm reading my phone and thought the TV flashed. A short time later it happened again but this time Dante popped up and lunge-bit like he was trying to chase off a bug.
A couple more flash-lunges and I realized something was flying circles around the ceiling fan - which is centered basically on My Woman's feet in bed. I calmly explained to her that there was a bat flying over our heads. She, less than calmly, was standing in the hall screaming a mere 2.3 seconds later.
Internet said to open a window, turn off the lights, and close the bedroom door. We slept in the living room and it was gone by morning.
... He or one of his buddies was flying circles across the Kitchen-Nook-Family Room section after dinner a few evenings later. Not again after that but we never found out where he/they came in from or why they stopped.
"A show of hands . . . who believes that every one of these stories happened exactly as presented without qualification?"
What's the matter? Haven't you ever heard, 'Believe all women.'?
"I call BS on this story."
Yes, certainly for the reason you cited – but why ANYONE would want to live in the skin of one Lisa Murkowski? I don't care how physically unattractive one may perceive one's self to be, that's just...I don't have an adjective...sorry.
"'...a "roadside" Maryland zoo.'"
Huh? What the hell is THAT? Is it not important that the test subjects NOT be compromised in any way? Any ol' bats will do? If that's the case, where's Hillary?
"...abandoning him to be filtered through the digestive track of the local ursine population..."
I hope THAT is his real nightmare – I also hope that it comes true.
Gen. Eric Smith is a disgrace to the Corps. He ought to be immediately given a dishonourable discharge, and forfeit his pension. That whole story makes me want to puke.

Our $30K tax bill seems pretty small to some other folks. Never mind, between the terms of the final payment plan, the changes in rules for third-party payment processors, its own errors in applying payments to the wrong years – I was only a missed payment away from being charged with income tax evasion.

We keep trying with the niece. All the women in her life read (me, my sister, my mother). She has a massive vocabulary for a child her age, but reading isn't her thing. But she will pick up a book and try, and I keep being told stories by people who didn't like to read until X point or one book caught their attention, and then they couldn't get enough. So fingers crossed . . . I think it's her generation, but I have hope she will change.

For the record, I see myself as a Luke Warmer.
"Luke Warmer"
Didn't he play for the Boston Bruins in the 1960's?
He wasn't much of skater but he was a great enforcer.
And the sub-head would be, "Is it time to release the carbon dioxide, peeps?"
I'm a Much Warmer, thanks. It would be perfect timing for my life cycle, not to mention my narcissism, but I hear the universe is *still* expanding, damn it (what I'd *really* like is a big bang do-over...but don't tell the Mrs. iykwim, wink, wink), so maybe I'll join you and Luke.

Well, Don Surber's weekly recap on Saturday morning is the gold standard, with all due respect to Lillia. She's iconic in her own right.
He's absolutely wonderful at the one liner.
No prob with the freezing weather.

Well said, Lil.
I want to like the whole Bari Weiss project but she, and her staff, just aren't quite red pilled.
Bari Weiss and Bill Maher (and liberals like them) still think they can "save" the Democrat Party because they're still locked in that spectrum mindset and actually believe the parties are different and the Democrats are liberal rather than a political power machine with a liberal facade.

"transitioning from modern to classical liberalism"
Yes, this, or they're caught in between, not understanding that there is a difference and actually the two are diametrically opposed.
Yep. Not to offend anyone, but most 60's Leftists haven't figured out that they are on the Right today, because most of them still put Fascism on the wrong endpoint.

Edit: added a closing parenthesis. 8>)
I almost subscribed early on, and still go there regularly, but I like your "other" idea.
I had paid for an NYT Online subscription for years because it should be the Paper of Record. It just got to be too much crap to wade through.
Then I found out how to read paywalled articles: http://archive.ph/
I won't do it for Substack or other subs I pay for. I'm a capitalist. But I'm pretty well confident that NYT is a quasi-BigFedGov Op and doesn't need my support.
"All the news that's woke-fit to print."
At least Bezos wants to make money.
Capitalism (classic, not crony) gives *all* people what they want.
Capitalism (crony, i.e. Fascism (shh, it's a secret)) gives only the State what it wants.
Does my love of parentheticals (especially nested!) annoy?
Not as long as each opening parenthesis has a closing mate, I'm fine. But if you miss one, I'll be driven to distraction.

"And then we go to Anthony Fauci’s house, and we put them in his attic."
We had a bat in our bedroom and, eventually, bathroom one night last summer:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/vv2MXw6ZwsEBc6gT6
That's the point where I move and never come home. Bats are rats, with wings.
It was pretty freaky. We were in bed and Dante the Husky Dawg was up with us, as he is sometiems in the first part of the night. We're watching TV but the light's out. Mrs. Pi's already lightly snoring on her side. I'm reading my phone and thought the TV flashed. A short time later it happened again but this time Dante popped up and lunge-bit like he was trying to chase off a bug.

My skin's crawling just reading that.
Does it help to know that some bat species eat thousands of mosquitos every night?
Only in an intellectual way. Snakes are also good at eating mice, but I will still bust through a wall to get away from one.
Get away from mice, or snakes?
Asking for my wife.
Another reason to keep the mosquitos out.
I actually did try that line on Mrs. Pi.
No, it did not help in the least.

But she will pick up a book and try, and I keep being told stories by people who didn't like to read until X point or one book caught their attention, and then they couldn't get enough. So fingers crossed . . . I think it's her generation, but I have hope she will change.
Too much fun today y'all! Gotta go work.
Thanks, Lillia.
