If only there were some form of conveyance to easily transport the plentiful LNG from states immediately south of NY to get New England cheaper energy…
Didn’t AOC live in Boston when she attended BU? Wouldn’t she have figured out the pricing thing?

So, they released the lineup today for the Flagstaff Blues & Brews festival. I knew that Samantha Fish was going to be there, because I saw it on her website. Imagine my surprise to see Larkin Poe on the roster, as well 🙂
Tickets went on sale today. I got VIP passes

Holy crap I’m getting a figurative headache. My SIL is doing her online Sociology course now and it’s almost physically painful to listen to the absolute garbage they are teaching. Todays gem is Relative Deprivation Theory. Apparently, my definition won’t work. “The way leftists control the populace by convincing them that they are worse off than they are.”
Yep. No sympathy for them except those conservatives who were outvoted by the dumb environmentalists. You are getting the kind of world you are wanting for the rest of us.

How much is this boatload of wisdom costing her?

Too damn much, but it’s a requirement now for her degree. They had no options for any of the other “soft” sciences. She has to take psych 101 too, but from experience I can say it’s not nearly as bad as sociology. (In my school I dropped out of the sociology class and picked a different class).
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
I liked my soc class. My prof explained the cultural context and the personal lives of the people who had advanced a particular line of thought (e.g., Weber), so it was a cultural history/biography class, too. It was where I got my first real exposure to Marxism, too. Didn’t know Marx was a German wastrel living off some Brit sucker.

My sociology class was a Margaret Sanger worship circle.
The one my SIL is taking is a list of aggrieved people in the US and why evil white men are responsible for every bad thing that ever happened to them.
Sociology serves no purpose. There is nothing you can learn there that ins’t covered in Cultural Anthropology. It has been redesigned to be leftist cultural brainwashing and nothing else. It needs replaced with Civics. (Which has been eliminated from most High Schools and colleges).

Mr. Butera!! 8th grade civics! He had a part time job on weekends selling luggage at Kaufman’s. We’d go in and bug him – he always said he was someone else – but if we embarrassed him there was a pop quiz on Monday. The bonus question was always about some pro sports game played over the weekend. He was great.

The rodent has spoken!
There’s an interesting theory going around. Dan Bongino says he had the photo in Oct 2018 but couldn’t verify it. Why did it come out now and from who?
The guess is Planned Parenthood, who has given Northam millions. He literally blew up Kathy Tran’s bill – that was written by Planned Parenthood – and became political poison. They need someone they can own. Justin Fairfax, our Lt. Gov, was some sort of director at the Virginia affiliate of PP, so he’s theirs. Ergo, destroy Northam, move Fairfax in and ‘move on’.

Rams are undecided if they will go to the White House if they win the Super Bowl.
I really doubt if they will have to make that decision. Also they are only in the game on a fluke.
If they get more ridiculous non-calls in their favor and sneak past the Pats Trump should not offer an invitation.
At least I have a rooting interest now.

Jack Dorsey admits that Twitter consults with left wing groups and foreign governments like Pakistan, in order to censor conservatives. But you knew that, although he tries to make it sound benign.

Well, technically an Austrian. He father was a member of the Austrian nobility until his title, land and deeds were stripped from him because he married a Jewish woman. Karl was nothing more than a putrid spoiled asshole bent on destroying the system the refused to allow him to claim his nobility title. Once you understand this, everything about Marxism, Marxist Socialism makes perfect sense.

Consider it from this perspective. When a shithole from San Franscicko has to apologize for banning Trump MAGA hats, it means even here in California Trump is way more popular than the media will admit.

hunh. I knew he had Jewish antecedents, I didn’t know THAT part. I’m still not clear about what caused that restaurant owner to pull a 180. He made it sound like his staff was pissed at him for not consulting them first and that may be part of it, but it sounds iffy
This is going to be so much fun. Northam says now it’s not him in the pic and he ain’t resigning

Whats not to be clear about? If the majority of his patrons had agreed with him, he would never have retracted his statement. The excuse about his employees is exactly that, a piss poor excuse. The guy is a brain dead liberal Marxist propaganda kool-aid drinker who was mugged by reality. He believed the media bullshit that California, San Fransicko to be even more specific was mostly anti Trump. He made his asinine statement, and reality checked his ass so hard it was like getting prison raped.

Yo, kiddo. Hope you’re getting treatment for the sore tendons. I hear the CBD oil from hemp is supposed to help pain. Not the psychoactive THC apparently which seems counter-intuitive.
Damn, weird night. Woke up early this morning with a full body allergic reaction. Itching and bumps everywhere. My left cheek is swollen, and still is. Zyrtec cleared up the allergic reaction in about an hour. Cheek swelling is going down but still strange. I think it may have something to do with the shave and haircut I got yesterday but not sure what the hell happened.

PITTSBURGH?? culture shock. People are very nice, tho. As long as you don’t expect your backside kissed.
Northam says he never saw his yearbook. Fine. Don’t you think someone would have mentioned it if it was so out of character?

They can stay in Cal.

one of my best friends growing up was/is a very talented artist. Got her degree, had a few shows in NYC, starved, got married, had a kid, starved, got divorced, moved back to the parents place, and is now teaching art to 7th graders at Upper St. Clair (CW knows where it is)
