I just woke up to go pee and saw what time it is. It’ll be a while before I can put a post together. I can’t even get my eyes to focus yet.
Seriously, I didn’t even drink last night or nothing.
Don’t worry, I’m sure Obama and the Democrats will do something stupid any minute now.
Until then here is this open thread.

Plumber and electrician here to finish off the kitchen!!! Yeah…might actually be able to cook tonight for the first time in three months! Almost done with the renovation….and a good thing as we are literally at our wits end…I have no wit at this point…I’ve become a snap dragon!!!
Well I hope you do finally have a kitchen. I wonder if renovations are like child birth, once finished you quickly forget about the pain????
No
Not on your life.
Our carpenter left Saturday, and I was not sad to see him go. Nearly two years of non-stop renovations between our house and snow-bird condo. I am worn out, and I wasn’t even the one doing the physical labor.
Hope your kitchen is everything you dreamed it would be!
I’m one of those on the other side of these remodels. I can tell you of the difficulties with keeping up with changes and whims, the telephone calls, emails and texts. But you all probably know about those. I try my best to keep up and keep everybody happy. There are vendors to deal with, late deliveries, labor and on and on. Is it worth it? Seems everyone is always happy when it is over and love the remodel. But it is freaky for them to live in a torn up house and have strangers coming and going not to mention the costs. I can sympathize but its also amazing when they decide to immediately start another project when the former has just been completed.
The last thing I remember dreaming was my 2nd ex-wife was locked in the bathroom of a church smoking crystal meth.
Before that I have a vague recollection of driving around lost in the East Bay with her, her 1st ex and her kid.
That dream wasn’t particularly scary (just weird) but I guess her presence qualifies it as a nightmare.
If you missed the Tonys last night, here’s a gem….when Clint was introduced during a segue, he was talking to an empty chair 😀
I have an unblemished record when it comes to the Tony’s. 54 straight misses.
Well, for that young man, you are required to view …..
I already feel miserable.
Lucky for you, CBS is removing all the copyrighted stuff now. 😦
Clint, while I still like him, has lost a bunch of popularity and cred on the coast by divorcing his locally popular wife, Dina. She’s a real sweetheart, and has been an excellent and classy spokeslady for him, so his money is gonna have a hard time making up for her ungracious deep-sixing.
Ouch !
I didn’t think Fallon would go there. He seemed to be totally in the tank for the Obamas. At least that’s what I heard because I was never up late enough to actually see his old show. But he’s taken some good pot shots since moving to the earlier time slot.
A good comedian should not wear his politics on his sleeve. They should take shots at both sides.
The past six years have nearly ruined Jon Stewart and TDS because they can’t mock Obama.
It’s been even worse for Stephen Colbert. He’s so in the tank for Obama, that it’s sad and depressing. He’ll make jokes about Repubs where he doesn’t even get that they’re making a joke.
I think when they do mock Team Obama they also fit in a bigger slam for the GOP. I haven’t watched them in years
Obama also has ruined many Hollywood celebs.
Along with the rest of the country. 👿
Yep. Anytime you leave 75% of your potential material on the floor, your career ain’t doing squat.
I haven’t had the TV on in a week, but I ran across this on another site this morning. This seems like just the kind of story to get overblown on the 24/7 cable news. I don’t know if that’s the case or if it’s even being covered, but I’m sure those in the WH would like a little breathing room from all of their recent scandals.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! Hillary Clinton: We Were Dead Broke:
Poor mouthin’ is very bad taste. They were so po’ that she went to the Senate instead of making big bucks as a lawyer to pay off their debts. Yeah, sure. They had “to get houses”. In one of the most expensive areas in the country so they could run her for the Senate. Talk about tone deaf in this economy. Next she will be saying they felt bad because their rich friends had more fun than they did and they had sacrificed everything (by their own choices) to be in the White House. Boo-farking-hoo.
LOL. It’s time to end the taxpayer-financed retirement for ex-presidents when they make millions after they leave office, or they should be means tested. 🙂
If they were so broke then maybe Chelsea shoulda considered community college.
For the rest of Congress too.
That’s a really good idea. When I read crap like this load from Hillary I can’t help but dream of what Sarah the outsider would have done if she were President. I can just see it…”that’s BS cut it” “The banks are now bigger than too big to fail break it up boys” Sarah would have taken it to the elitist old boys. We really had a chance for a breath of fresh air in Palin.
Oh man, they really pulled out their strongest Barbara Walters camera filters for her.
Apparently the word is out south of the border that amnesty is a-comin’. Illegal immigrants are flooding across in record numbers, including unaccompanied children.
In a somebody who knows somebody fifth hand report: The illegal minors are knocking on doors of homes looking for medical help and food. They are wandering over the bridge in McAllen with no immigration checks and then going into the town looking for food, money and medical attention. And they are from Mexico (not Central American violence but Mexican poverty) or so say the residents who are being sought out by these poor undesirable unfortunates who are being encouraged to leave their slums for El Norte.
Hardly anything in the MSM so I’ve been following the local AZ news. The GOP doesn’t dare question this for fear they’d be labeled baby haters.
I know our country has always welcomed refugees from war torn countries, but Obama’s being so darn sneaky about this.
It’s all over Fox all night.Obama says basically, if you can get here, you can stay here, so here they come…. kids, some as young as 3, no parents – because later the parents can come and stay with their already arrived kiddies. And we’re just sending them in buses to CA, AR, and telling them to show up at ICE in 15 days. yeah, right. A guy on tonight said that they’re literally clearning out of whole villages in central America to get up here. A really big wave is due to hit in a couple of weeks. Well, you know, Alinsky believed the way to get from capitalism to socialism was to overload the system – guess they’re doing it on all levels, now.
We should just annex Mexico. I hired some guys who didn’t speak English very well and who were standing out in front of the Home Depot this weekend because I got tired of my adult kid moving out of my house box by box (and taking half of my refrigerator contents with each box of clothes and miscellaneous junk) and I couldn’t find any other movers. I didn’t ask many questions because we had trouble with basic directions. They worked hard, they didn’t complain except since I wasn’t organized they had to stand around awhile and they were afraid I wasn’t going to pay them for that time, they were nice and non threatening. One of them wasn’t quite right and the other guys were looking out for him and helping him along. They respect the role of Matron or Mama and they didn’t ask me every 5 minutes when we were going to be done. These are very nice motivated people with good values. So why is their country such a disaster? We should not be selectively importing the motivated citizens of our neighbors they should be in their country building something where good people can live and prosper. Since this doesn’t seem to be happening we should just take over and drive out the losers in Mexico rather than let the losers rule and drive out the good people. And if we are going to take responsibility for Mexican citizens we should also take their natural resources.
And Canada.
Well Mexico apparently needs us but the Canadians seem perfectly happy. I always vacation up there and even though they have high taxes they seem to have their country under control and their citizens aren’t trying to run. I would hate to see Canada sucked up by the USA as I often think of moving there when I get sick of it here.
I grew up in Montana, and my family always vacationed in Canada. It is a nice country, and the campgrounds were great.
Because imperialism just works so very, very well.
Right. On! Let’s turn this country into the exact same shit hole as Mexico is! That way it will be “fair.”
Fucking loon.
Look, we are taking their motivated although poor citizens anyway we might as well take their natural resources to offset our costs. Don’t kid yourselves the Democrats don’t intend to keep anyone out even the criminals. Either close the border and enforce all immigration laws or we should just annex them. It’s not like we have a good choice with all these needy people rushing our border. We have to choose the most workable bad choice. Clearly they can’t manage their own country, their elitist ruling class must be even worse than ours.
Obama has created a situation that is being exploited by child traffickers.
We have to send them back to end this.
I agree Obama created this problem and the children should be sent back to their country of origin. But a favorite cry of Progressives is “But the Children! What about the Children! Republicans hate children!” And this situation lets them wallow in one of their favorite mantras so they aren’t going to put a stop to a situation they enjoy.
I agree, VM!!!!
I wonder how many kids died on the way.
Many I would guess. And the kids didn’t just show up on our doorstep. They had to have known this was coming our way and I wouldn’t put it past the Obots to have sent operatives south and stirred this up to start with.
This will blow your mind.
New Miss USA is a 4th degree Tae Kwan Do black belt.
Interview asked her about campus rapes, and she advocated learning self-defense.
Twitter feminazis went into a rage-stroke on #missusa.
“we do not need to teach women self-defense. We need to teach men not to rape”
check out twitchy.
http://twitchy.com/2014/06/09/rape-culture-wins-feminist-freakout-after-miss-nevada-dares-suggest-self-defense-training-for-women/
I am calling them #femdamsels because feminism is now about treating women as damsels in distress.
I wondered what that was all about when I stopped by on Twitter last night.
Speaking of Miss USA
Love it when the real ideology, victim culture, comes out and trumps life and safety. Idiots.
WHen Iheard thison the news, I immediately wanting to do some public relations, something like, these young airhead “feminists” should not even be called “feminists”, Feminists: We are Women,We are Strong,We want to work our way up, and create a better and safer word.
That next generation – well, they’re just losers, no big, practical ideas, just silly marketing and in-you-face crap. Basically, the big stuff had been understood and tackled, and these skallywags have totally regressed instead of keeping the fires burning. They’ve become like the original naive populations of women that the 2nd wavers had to explain everything to.
Except they’re wasting all their time getting all tangled up in their “intersectionality” crap, wherein they have to fix everyone else’s problems instead of their own – but they haven’t noticed that the “favor” is not returned – you’re not going to find a black group fightng for women’s rights, or an environmental group fighting for women’s rights, or a gay man’s group fighting for women’s rights, etc. But women’s rights have subsumed all those other areas. They done got suckered. Maybe someone read Alinsky – because they overpowered the women’s groups with all these other problems they had to solve, and they bit, hard, and now there is very little true, practical work being done for women.
In any regard – they’re not feminists – they’re bored, hedonistic, have no good ideas, and just want some popularity, some attention, they’re not interested in making change. Hmmmm no wonder they jumped on Obama.
Last night there was a bizarre hashtag going about how white people can’t be raped.

Last night on twitter was so moonbatty weird that we were speculating that OFA had just hired a bunch of new trolls.
I thought I read that Obama for Obama had laid off half of their staff because they cost too much and were not going to leave enough money for Bronco to take into retirement (or his legal fund). The new batch must be summer “unpaid” intern resume builders. I must say it was a very bad week to start interning.
That’s Obama’s MO when gravity pulls him back to Earth.
I’m getting the feeling that today is gonna be another bout of narcolepsy. Since I started taking meds 2 years ago I alternate between insomnia and sleeping all day on about a 70/30 split. I average about 8 hours of sleep a day, but most days it’s about 5-6 hours and then 1-2 a week it’s 12-16 hours.
That is sad. 😦
When we were kids we had nuke-proof desks. If the commies dropped the big one we just hid under our desks.
“Duck and cover”
Where are the #YesAllWomen hash taggers on gun control? We don’t have to ban guns, we just have to teach people not to go on shooting sprees.
Or make men register their, uh, assault weapons.
Cue Lee Marvin’s character in “Waterhole #9”, who had raped the sheriff’s daughter, yet the sheriff was not going to arrest Marvin because he had helped the sheriff in his battle against some really bad guys.
Daughter: “What about my rape!!!???”
Marvin with a wink and a grin to the sheriff: “Assault with a friendly weapon . . .?”
Andrea Mitchell not buying State Dept.’s spin on Bergdahl Swap:
Maybe Andrea is holding off on your full on Obama love until she gets paid a ransom. Apparently ransom works with Obama now.
Good god, that’s who the WH puts out as a spokesperson, someone who looks, sounds and acts like a sorority girl, giggling when questioned about this serious matter? Can they get any more tone deaf?
We are in the hands of infants.
Sister of Pajama Boy perhaps?
She puts me in mind of the woman from the Haverty furniture commercials that run in the DC area who wears big glasses, always brings along her own settee/comphy chair and giggles a good deal.
I have so much confidence in the Obambi administration.
Ooooo, that’s got possibilities. 🙂
Looks like chocolate chips, miniature marshmallows, and fruit. Anything else?
Hah! I finally got the slow-draining kitchen sink declogged! It’s been daaays …. nothing sweeter than the sound of a drain gurgling.
Small victories.
Here’s some opinionating I thoroughly endorse:
