  1. "Paging Luigi to the white courtesy phone..."

    Read the CNBC story on United Healthcare being sued by its shareholders because, in the wake of the CEO’s killing….

    “The group, which is seeking unspecified damages, argued that the public backlash prevented the company from pursuing “the aggressive, anti-consumer tactics that it would need to achieve” its earnings goals.”

    “Aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” aren’t just a thing we do, they are LITERALLY A LEGAL OBLIGATION. America is fully enshittened.

  3. Absolute fucking lunacy. “Actually it’s better that the surgeon general isn’t really a doctor.” 
     
    And regarding the last paragraph, this country had a week-long meltdown because Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden.

    Dude, there’s a huge difference between her “kids should eat healthy” and Michele Obama’s “kids should eat healthy.”
    You know what it is.

    maybe so, but they're also at an inflection point as membership continues to decline. adapt or die finally pertains to them too. whether they choose to accept that inevitability is a different story altogether

    The growing Catholic church in Africa would like a word.  Seriously, it's easy to look at the Catholic church in Europe and the US and say that it's declining, and the church being retrograde is part of that.  But it misses a LOT of the picture of the Church as a whole.

    I fucking love it.  Let me re-state the core criticisms:

    1)  A man who was just selected to lead a GLOBAL religious body....does not ascribe to a political belief of "America first, America to the exclusion of everyone else."

    2) A man who was just selected to lead a Christian denomination - literally the MOTHER Christian denomination - ascribes to ideas like those found in the first book of the New Testament, like "treat the stranger, immigrant, and prisoner, with kindness," and "show kindness to your enemies."

     

    Yes.  Their criticisms are exactly as fucking stupid as they sound when you put them in plain english.

    This.  We've got a pretty good litmus test of "if THESE are the people who hate him, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like him" going here.  Loomer, Bannon, Vance, Icono....keep 'em coming.

    Clearly you’ve never been to a non-denominational outdoor Easter service in Kerrville. 

    Only because I was never trying to hook up with a hot girl who was attending such a service.  My college-age libido took me places I wouldn't go with a gun today.

    Did they actually weigh it ?
    Doubtful.

    Someone pulled that number out their ass.

    Not saying that it WASN'T pulled out of someone's ass, but actually....City garbage trucks actually have internal scales to weigh how much trash they have on board.  It's part of the regulatory requirements on landfills, recording daily volumes and such.  It's not as accurate as an ag department certified grocery scale, but it's close enough to satisfy regulatory requirements.

    Now, someone STILL might be bullshitting you, because people do that shit.  But odds are they had a pretty good idea from the readings on the trucks as they headed off to the landfill.

    This would be a top 5 Obama scandal. Fox News would still be covering this.

    I wish this was sarcasm....but it's 100% gospel truth.

    And honestly....they wouldn't be that off-target...it IS absurd and stupid and shameful.  FFS, it's VE day, there are only two letters in it, and he got one of them wrong.

  10. An American pope.  So, I presume we can expect:

    1 - the new Popemobile will be a jacked-up F-250 (the truck nuts will be covered, in a nod to Catholic decency standards)

    2 - communion wafers replaced with Cheetos

    3 - an Applebee's inside the vatican walls

    4 - an annual blessing of the Stock Cars before NASCAR season kicks off

    Working on getting my new club outfitted and geared up for Junior Olympics this summer.  Looks like the bags my clubs have been using for years won't be an option. Got this email yesterday.

    Coach,

     
    Please excuse my late email here, but it was brought to my attention of a hiccup we are having when I was building out the bag to be put on your site. 
     
    We use TYR as our vendor for bags, and they are currently out of stock of the color we chose with no signs of replenishment. On top of that, TYR has their bags made in China and unfortunately, it doesn't look like they will be replenishing any inventory due to the tariffs placed on China. They have a small number of black bags on hand, but those will be sold out within the next two days.

    Dude....you'll get the new Trumplandia alternative bags, and you'll like it....
