- Why are black independent thinkers smeared by the media?
- Matt Welch: When the bubble bursts, we are so screwed. Ya think?
- At The Intercept Shaun King remembers his college fraternity brother, now tasered to death by cops.
- Remember the gigantic blue wave that was going to overwhelm the 2018 mid-terms? The NYT is now opinionating about what would happen if that wave turned out to be … red.
- Here comes flu-shot propaganda season again. I’m not opposed to getting shots if I know how well they work, but this mindless “get your shot whether it works or not” for three months every year drives me bonkers. Sharyl Attkisson reviews some of her past reporting on the issue.
- Um … didn’t people used to get arrested for calling for the overthrow of elected governments? Oh yeah. I guess it’s supposed to be a joke. With Rosie The Mouth, how do you tell?
- For you introverts and my Neighbor J: How an entire nation (Finland) survives without small talk.
- This is cute. Nebraska — 50th out of the 50 states as a desirable tourist destination — comes up with a new campaign: “Honestly, it’s not for everyone.”
- A walk down the Memory Lane of dirty politics: Did Lee Atwater set up Gary Hart to fail? (Seems unlikely, even for that nasty wheeler-dealer.)
- What do Einstein, the Incredible Hulk, the Eiffel Tower, Schroedinger’s Cat, and the Tardis all have in common? They’re new constellations you’ll probably never see.
- Well, so much for anybody who thinks there’s no difference between men and women. Men perform classic pin-up poses. (Warning: You will never be able to unsee this. Once you’ve clicked, you’re dooooooomed.)
- An 18-year-old pizzeria manager makes an extraordinary delivery to a terminally ill customer.
Point me the way to Finland. I don’t do small-talk either.
Men posing for pin-ups show how silly women look doing the same.
Rosie O’Donnell said on MSNBC Thursday that she wants to send the U.S. military to the White House to “get” President Donald Trump.
Evidently Rosie has no idea just who the “U.S. military” overwhelmingly voted for. Or who they take orders from.
Intellectuals like her are always so utterly surprised when they activate martial law, and find themselves on the first train to camp.
IMHO the pinups look funky because the poses emphasize body parts that the men don’t have.
I lived in Nebraska for two years, and seven tornadoes, but that article was behind a paywall. As was the NYT piece. Guess it’s time to go cookie-hunting again.
I don’t get flu shots and forgive me if I don’t shake your hand. Where’s my hand cleaner!
I like to think of them as conservatives/libertarians who happen to be black. It puts the emphasis where it belongs.
I don’t get the flu shot either, Comrade X. Free shots at my work next, and daily e-mails from HR telling us how important it is to get it. So far it is voluntary. The minute it becomes mandatory, I’m gone.
“Rosie O’Donnell” “Intellectuals”
I’ll take “words and phrases seldom used in the same conversation” for $200, Alex.
[…] Living Freedom Blog has linkage. […]
No flu shots here, no GMO frankenfood or aspartame. Not big on pseudo-science or bogus statistics, either. And no flu, for decades now.
And as to individuals who won’t drink the Kool-Aid, well, they’re at ever-increasing risk. Those who happen to be black just have a front-row seat at the racism and hypocrisy circus. (Prediction: given that violence is now OK, if people ignorant of the meaning of words call someone “fascist”, we’re just weeks away from The Media officially declaring that “uncle Tom” is outdated, too, and bringing back the N-word for “those people.” Publicly, I mean.)
[…] Clarie Wolfe starts us off with Weekend links. […]
And perfectly befitting the character of the folks in Nebraska the slogan is both honest and humble. Makes me want to go.
Nebraska is a wonderful place to visit if you like outdoor activities and kind, friendly people. I love their new tourism campaign.
Larryarnold, you are a very generous man to refer to Rosie O’Donnell as an intellectual.
And Claire, isn’t it hard to break that mindset of needing to locate cheap, good quality building materials? My project days are over, but my heart still skips a beat every time I pass a rummage sale with nice looking doors and windows being offered. It’s like that scavenger mode seeps into your DNA.

Oh yeah. So true! It’s always like “What if I NEED that someday?” And “Oh, that’s so cool. I could …”
At this sale, the worst thing was the unopened roll of #15 tar paper ($4). I made myself leave it behind. But “what if I NEED it someday?” Nah, I told myself. My days for needing it are past. Then after somebody else snagged it I remembered that someday I still want to build a shed …
Nah. You’re right. It’s either DNA or addiction.
Let’s see now – Shaun King. If Shaun King told me it was raining, I would go out and check to make sure.
