What's the frequency, Colorado?

Not that I have any personal experience or anything, but I'm guessing that once a fella murders his wife, casting a vote for Trump on the decedent's behalf kinda seems like small potatoes.

It's definitely adding insult to fatal injury, though.

"I know she (Suzanne Morphew) was going to vote for Trump anyway."

Oh. It's what she would have wanted.

I gave my family one guess who the murderer had his victim vote for. They guessed correctly.

Dick Lamm, Colorado's longest-serving governor, dies at 85

He's the "duty to die" guy (what he actually said wasn't as bad as some made it out to be), and also the guy responsible for Colorado declining to host the winter Olympics (which was the right choice).

Back when he was governor, I used to see him at the library a lot, and we even crashed into each other coming around a corner once.

Unfortunately, late in life, he started spewing racist bullshit.

Casa Bonita has been troubled for a while. Even before COVID, they were bouncing paychecks. Then they temporarily closed toward the beginning of the pandemic, never opened back up again even though they were promising to, then eventually they went silent.

Anyways, people have been encouraging the owners to sell it for a while, and they just did, to Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The South Park guys.

'South Park' creators say they're buying Casa Bonita

I guess this is OK. They're the reason I can talk about Casa Bonita to people outside Colorado without having to explain what it is.

[ChuckF]

I truly had no idea Casa Bonita was a real thing.

Jayson Boebert, husband of crazed wingnut Rep. Lauren Boebert, received $478,000 in "consulting fees" last year from a large Texas-based natural gas producer with substantial business interests in Boebert's congressional district. That's pretty good cheese for a guy whose sole area of expertise is waving his wang at underage girls.

"Real" is a relative thing.

Our latest news is that the shortages in education manpower have hit the prairie. Our local school is short at least 3 teacher and a couple of teaching assistants.
The principal is puzzled, because the school board is now offering a whopping $12.50 an hours, and has a hard time finding teachers.

Meanwhile the McDonald's up in Sterling is offering 15.

Kyle Clark of Channel 9 news in Denver had the unenviable jerb of covering last night's Douglas County School Board meeting. It went pretty much as you'd expect, what with Douglas County developing a national reputation for COVID-related wingnut bugfuckery. For me, the highlight was a former school board candidate announcing to everyone that he saw a police sniper on the building's roof, cuz the Board members "fear the parent voice."

[Sock Puppet]

The Douglas County Schools board is taking a break from public comment after a series of interruptions from the crowd. As board directors left their seats, they were heckled by the crowd. "This is America!" someone yelled.

Yes, unfortunately, this is very America.

Speaking of wingnut performance art, here is the campaign kickoff vid of Ron Hanks, a lunatic running to unseat incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet, a moderate Dem.

Coincidentally, Michael Bennett also released his new campaign ad today.

This Western Colorado blogger reports on Garfield County School District RE-2 board meetings. God bless and keep her.

A Western Slope conspiracy nut appeared via Zoom during the public comments period to bitch about the child abuse inherent in having school children wear masks. When her time limit got down to about 30 seconds, shit really got weird when America's favorite woman-beating junkie, the MyPillow Guy, stuck his face in front of the webcam and started blabbering about the real science of masks.

@"Jesse, turn it off."

School boards have always been a target for extremist fuckhead wackjobs, and it's only getting worse. Please, my fellow Americans, pay very careful attention to your local school board elections.

[Stephen Maturin]

If you had "GOP upstart challenging Democratic incumbent on the ground that the Dem isn't actually gay" on your bingo card, conglaturation! You win!

Danielle Neuschwanger (it's immature AF to laugh at someone's name, but goddamn, ) wants to challenge incumbent Gov. Jared Polis next year. At her campaign kickoff event a couple of nights back, Neuschwanger () told the audience that Polis, who's openly gay, is "not really gay" but rather a woman-abusing closet heterosexual whose marriage to his male spouse is "a sham."

One ALMOST feels sorry for old school country club Republican types. The party leadership spent decades aggressively courting every last dipshit booger-eating nutjob they could find. Those efforts were so successful that the lunatics now have total control of the asylum. The marginalized old schoolers are now stuck on the sidelines complaining about how they are the real Republicans, when in fact they're completely irrelevant.

-1 point for smilie selection
You could have had Neuschwanger
or even better Neuschwanger

[Sock Puppet]

That is all.

And here he is again, I'm pretty sure, reviewing the book.

Some quotes in case it gets taken down, as it should.

You have to be pretty smart to understand this book. It's kind of like a better version of Gravity's Rainbow.

Because of this structure,the reader is very much in the dark about what’s going on in the beginning, but each chapter flashes another facet of the story into the reader’s mind, another clue on how it all fits together; but be warned, this is not a light read, a straightforward exposition of a single idea, an entertainment. This is more like reading Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (or in a lighter vein, my own “non-linear time sequence” book). Sanction requires investment from the reader.

This is probably just a coincidence:

I don’t know if describing the plot, as such, would give you any useful take on what the book is about, but but the basics are: Lyndon James MacLeod, a true Alpha Male and supremely strong independent Man, has endured a great many things in his life, betrayal and insults and theft of his property, that an Alpha would, until modern times, have responded to with proper and necessary violence. Lyndon takes it all and moves on, starts over building new businesses and romantic relationships, until one day (for reasons you’ll have to read to find out), he decides enough is enough, and systematically and indeed, artistically, eliminates 46 of the individuals who thought they could get away with fucking him over.

You must understand that this is not some kind of light reading or Ayn Rand style chick lit. This is a weighty tome, both physically and intellectually.

Much of the story is told through lengthy internal dialogues by a variety of characters, often reflecting on the NRx/Red Pill themes: The modern suppression of male energy, government as Daddy, feminism’s poisoning of sexual relations and marriage through “liberating” women to have sex with who and when they want, the stupefaction of the general population by “the media,” and Human Biodiversity, the natural and well-known differences between races and sexes, the natural clannishness of humans versus the fantasy of Neoliberal, Universal WoMan. All of these and much more are explored here, the deracinating and dehumanizing effects of modernity laid bare. There is also speculation and discussion about what it will take to break out and break free of these disasters–and more than discussion. The reader gradually comes to realize that the startling events set in the future are part of a plan to do just that.

Neoreview.

Of course he did.
He also set video games to easy and then bragged about his scores… presumably.

The whole ‘I am but a super man an alpha male born in times that praise beta cucks and women, woe is me, the last of the real men’ schtick is solely built on the fact the real man either can’t see outside his tiny bubble or chooses not too.

There are plenty of cartels where the alpha man reigns supreme and the most violent takes the spoils. It’s not like there’s absolutely no where in the world he could go, if being the true alpha male was his real dream.

Their leaders are all dead as well, because that’s where violence leads, to a quick turn over of alpha males.

[LarsMac]

Not quick enough, in my not-so-humble opinion.
