5 Apple handpies!Apple turnovers? Which I always thought never had enough apples. Or Hostess Apple Pies? Which are both horrible intellectually, but also wonderful.

13She looks familiar -- she might have been on an U.N.C.L.E. episode. Joanna something? Him I don't know, but guessing from the logo on one pic, he might have been an Italian actor, spaghetti Westerns?Posted by:_Wolfus Aurelius_at April 16, 2021 11:20 AM (/XOcP)
Your instincts are good, her name his indeed Joanna, married to someone famous, has a famous offspring, and the guy is indeed an Italian actor.

"This morning we woke up to news of another heartbreaking mass shooting, this time at a FedEx facility in our own state. These events have become horribly familiar to us, and our thoughts are with our fellow Hoosiers as we grapple with another tragedy. The weight of this painful event will stay with all of us.
As we've had to do too many times in recent memory, we will carry on with heavy hearts. I do want to share some historic IU news with you."
That quick transition to historic IU news, just underscores how vapid and empty their heavy hearts" are. They don't need to remind people what is in the frikin news already. It diminishes the awfulness of what happend when these kinds of statements are everywhere, especially in places where they do not fit. The university has ample means of addressing their sorrow. A presidential announcement is not an appropriate setting.

I'd like the Republicans to bring suit against Court Packing as anti-Constitutional,
then have the Republican appointed justices all vote against court -packing as unConstitutional and therefore illegal.
And then, I'd buy popcorn and watch all the 'splodey heads.
You know, actually fight tooth and claw.
But, as usual, the Republican'ts will just piss and moan and then stick a thumb up their asses and vote with the Dims.

Percentage of Americans...
Typical deceptive graphic representation. By placing the baseline near the lowest point of the graph you can make it visually appear that approval of the media has dropped by 80 or 90 percent, to near zero, when the numbers would indicate a drop from the range of 50-60% to 46%. A drop, to be sure, but not as great as visually depicted.
I hate that technique.

Ralph had the distinction of playing in the TV series Hondo in the late Sixties and trying to fill the shoes of John Wayne. I remember the show being on, but no details, so I don't know how well it worked.
GetTV shows Hondo on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Apparently it's been a "thing" for a looong time:
The tradition has silently polarized the nation, with some, like author John T. Edge, confessing, "at lunch or dinner I thought a wedge of pie was naked if it wasn’t crowned with a preternaturally orange slice of cheddar.†The poet Eugene Field (1850-1895) once wrote, "But I, when I undress me / Each night, upon my knees / Will ask the Lord to bless me / With apple pie and cheese.†There is even a saying, popular in many circles: "An apple pie without the cheese is like a kiss without the squeeze.â€

They don't care. They're just going to keep moving on. The Cheka never rests. A narrow "victory" for the White House, a razor-thin majority in the House, no majority in the Senate? They have the power and they intend to use it.
The GOP says, "This isn't the hill to die on." To the Democrats, there's no hill, valley, meadow or wood that's not worth attacking, napalming, conquering and razing.

The idea appears to have originated in England, where all sorts of fillings were added to pies. At some point, the17th-century trendof adding dairy-based sauces to pies morphed into a tradition of topping them with cheese. . .
According toThe Mystic Seaport Cookbook: 350 Years of New England Cooking, New England settlers brought the idea behind these Yorkshire pies with them, but instead of Wensleydale, they began using cheddar.
Why cheese? At the time, apple pies were quite bland: prior to the creation of the Red Delicious apple in the late 19th century, few apples tasted sweet. Cheese offered a readily available supplement. After all, in an era before the ubiquity of freezers, the most popular pie topping today—ice cream—was out of the question.

Frankly, I am shocked by the violence that has occurred over the last 2 months. Just because you shut down peoples livelihood for 1 year & 1 month without any compensation or financial support, completely eliminate their constitutional freedoms and "rights" which have existed for 3 centuries, relentlessly slander the character and heritage of millions of people, offer no security or hope which the govt is established to do, take away their only peaceful means of recourse at the voting booth by counting millions of illegitimate ballots in 6 cities to overturn the election, build a perimeter fence and standing army to occupy their nation's capitol, loot the treasury and print yourself trillions of dollars, enforce the law unjustly, gaslight them with endless propaganda and lies, intimidate people from speaking the truth, use psychological torture such as isolation and forced gimp mask wearing, coerce them into illegal medical experimentation, prevent them from practicing religion and going to church which is literally the 1st enumerated right and the reason our ancestors came here and founded our country while simultaneously allowing gambling drug use and rioting, overthrow foreign democracies, spend trillions on bombs to murder millions of people why your own nation and citizenry are in shambles, and threaten to unlawfully disarm your people....that's no reason for Americans to get upset. Like chill out bro, totally uncalled for. It's because of ar15s I think, and mentally ill entitles karens causing unprovoked hostility .

Similarly, I think that romance novels give women a ridiculously fantastic false impression of romance and how love affairs are supposed to go or how men act as well.
But 3d porn anime, manga etc is doing the same thing, giving a ludicrous idea of how men and women look, act, and should behave. No, women do not all have gigantic, symmetrical, gravity-defying breasts with huge nipples. No, men do not all look shredded or have a wang the size of a baseball bat.

I have yet to hear anyone say that this bullshit has gone on long enough and we can and should open the country back up, dispense with the masks and get back to normal, like we should've already done. No calls to get in touch with lawmakers and tell them to stop with the lockdowns immediately.
No anger, particularly towards Communist China nor the imbeciles who are still locking the nation down for absolutely no reason. No nothing. I just don't get it.

Sure, Mitt, because it's not like the judiciary has acted as an *unelected* legislature for a long time, whenever it feels like it.
And the 1950s-appropriate concern for our "institutions", which lie in shambles (to any half-way informed or intelligent actual American citizen), especially SCOTUS after simply hand-waving the first thoroughly unconstitutional presidential election in our history.

In a report released April 12th by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) the Monthly Energy Review, they report that energy-related CO2 emissions decreased by 11% in the United States in 2020 primarily because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions.
Furthermore, U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions fell in every end-use (consumer) sector for the first time since 2012. The EIA notes:
Now do people running small engines, burning brush, throwing away trash, recreational vehicles like boats, four-wheelers, jet skis, people running the HVAC in millions of individual homes instead of tens of thousands of public buildings, TVs, laptops, phones, etc. etc. etc.
I've got a paycheck that says emissions went UP during the lockdowns, and it was the worst types of emissions.

Especially after they see the gigantic cocks in porn.
If they only knew that most of those guys are average--or slightly larger--and it's camera angle, lighting and other tricks--including megadoses of viagra that makes them look like horses.

I've got a paycheck that says emissions went UP during the lockdowns, and it was the worst types of emissions.

It was the worst of emissions. It was the best of emissions.

Uh, that's from a satire site.
Someone posted last night or this morning about a luminescent "check engine light" type sensor that they're already putting into people ("now in late stage testing"). It apparently glows when you've got the COVIDs.
(searches, is pleased to learn it's easy to find)
"It's not some dreaded government microchip to track your every move, but a tissue-like gel engineered to continuously test your blood.
Dr. Matt Hepburn: It's a sensor...
Bill Whitaker: Wow. There's an-- an actual transmitter in that--
Dr. Matt Hepburn: Yeah. It's like a "check engine" light".

You know, that actually surprises me because you would have thought that industrial emissions would have gone way down. Car emissions would have gone down (at least passenger traffic.) The only thing I would expect to go up would be residential power usage- and you would think that increase would have been dwarfed by industrial use going down.People are at home. The office buildings still need to be heated and cooled (though likely not as much), though there's a savings on lighting. There's a loss on lighting, heating and cooling homes (no more setting things to less-comfortable temperatures while at work, more lighting, more computers running, etc.) and on average everyone working from home is probably less efficient in terms of electricity usage than working in offices.

There is a gain in automobile emissions without commuting, but there's more delivery and thus more trucks and a lot of running about by delivery drivers of all stripes. It's probably a net gain, but it may not be significant.
The hobby everyone has now seems to be home improvement and landscape improvement. Outdoor improvements mean lawnmowers, weed whackers, etc. and a lot of those are still heavily polluting 4-cycle small engines (lawnmowers) and extremely heavily polluting 2-cycle engines (weed whackers, leaf blowers, etc.). I'll bet use of the small engines has gone up a lot. Those engines also pollute a lot.
We probably did have net emissions reduction, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was way smaller than the experts predicted.

And it's a whole lot more efficient to heat and cool one big building than hundreds of individual homes.

Oddly enough, Mitt Romney's response to court packing yesterday was spot on.
Classic Failure Theater -- wait until you're in a position to not make a difference, then say the thing conservative voters want to hear.
Pretty sure almost every Dem nominee in 2020 said they would expand the court, so the time for Romney to be brave was during the 2020 campaign: he should have supported the GOP candidate to ensure the court was not packed. Further, he should have fought to make sure the Georgia special election that would have ensured a solid GOP majority. But no.

Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have been screaming that daily in the Senate and on TV.
They're the only two, then. The local NPR jazz station down here is running their Fund Drive and featuring a generic spot from jazz guitarist Pat Metheny (who played with Jaco Pastorius). He mentions the dire situations that musicians everywhere are going through now. Not once does he ever mention any sort of pushback, nor even the phrase "get back to normal."
I can't understand that at all. It's like everyone's just given up and treats this like it's a perfectly normal thing and there's nothing that can be done about it at all.

I can easily imagine them voting with Democrats.
First, those 3 are not Republicans. They are Democrats elected as Republicans. And all part of the Deep State.
All the Democrat Party has to do is remind them that if they want to keep their job, they simply need to vote the way the Deep State wants.
If they refuse to vote the way the Deep State wants, they will be reminded that the Deep State controls the election process in every state in the country and if they can get rid of Donald Trump with no issue, they can get rid of these three easily as well.
None of them have any principles, so they will vote with the Democrats to keep their jobs. And then go around making "the conservative case for court packing".

Every neighbor around me did a lot of spring cleaning and burning. Lots of trips to the dump once they opened back up. Huge amounts of trash that wouldn't have been disposed of otherwise.
While also running their HVAC in their individual homes.

Do the stuff you see in pron and you might pull a muscle or have a man/womanscaping accident.
Do the stuff in romance novels/movies, and presuming you aren't a 20-something independently wealthy man with a six pack and no commitments and you are going to jail. Well, unless you are a pirate captain. Then you'll just generally go to jail for being a pirate.

Tbis is why we lose. If we won back the Presidency & 1/2 the Senate, we should expand the court to 21 justices and immediately appoint all of them.
That's what the Left would do, and thry won't stop inless they taste some of their own medicine.

But FOX is probably more egregious. Yesterday when talking about this scheme to turn the SCOTUS into a Politburo, they listed John Roberts as a "conservative" justice. Therefore I have earned the right to ask those "journalists" what planet are they from? Mr. Roberts ONLY decides on which way to go based on what the cool kids want him to do. He has been locked into a HS mentality for decades as sees himself as President of the Student Council, NOT the Chief Justice of the United States. All you need to do to have him change his mind on something is to threaten to lower him a few pegs on the DC cocktail circuit.
