We could get Dish, but it’s nearly as expensive as my Internet service, requires a credit card, and you have to pay for the equipment as well.

“Off the Beat” is a regular crime feature in the TC Palm (TC for “Treasure Coast” as in Palm Beach County, Fla.)

The columnist there writes up Florida crime stories for the newspaper in a style similar to Wonkette but without the coarse language.

tcpalm.com

For example, this article on a woman who was arrested with meth in her bra reporting she bought it at a yard sale in Vero Beach.

More at the link, all of it funny:

A deputy stopped a woman driving a pickup truck April 28 after noticing she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

She pulled into a home on Second Street Southwest in Vero Beach. The deputy asked for her license. She said it was inside the home, which she said belonged to her grandmother.

She identified herself as Holly Smith, but the deputy recognized her as Christina Sarao because the deputy has “had prior interactions with her.”

Sarao hopped out of the truck and started running, and the deputy caught her.

“I have to poop and I’m pregnant!” Sarao is quoted as yelling.

Investigators determined Sarao had three warrants, along with methamphetamine and a pipe in her brassiere.

Trump’s requests to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Adm. Michael Rogers came after then-FBI Director James Comey publicly revealed before the House intelligence committee on March 20 that the FBI had an investigation into collusion to influence the 2016 election.

Both Coats and Rogers were uncomfortable with the nature of the President’s request and refused to comply, the sources told CNN.

I think this attack has some planning age on it, probably started as soon as the Ariana Grande concert was announced. It takes a special level of evil to target tweens.

I’m really interested in seeing if the explosive was similar to 7/7 bombings in London. Not really a traditional “explosive”, per se, but a chemical that expands explosively without producing much heat. It doesn’t go Bang!, it just creates a sonic boom.

Trump’s presence in Israel was just a lagniappe, I think.

He played regularly in Stillwater nightclubs after high school and, along with other rising Oklahoma songwriters of the era such as Bob Childers and Terry Buffalo Ware, helped to establish what became known as red-dirt music, a rootsy mix of country, folk, blues and rock. He recorded his first two albums during that time, though they received little notice beyond his home region.

Of note on Jimmy LaFave, the article notes that he had surgery for a lump (sarcoma) and some radiation therapy. When the docs wanted to move to chemotherapy, his response was “nope.” A friend says that he didn’t want to spend his last time throwing up, so instead he hit the studio to lay down a bunch of tracks then went on a concert tour instead.

He continued to perform until a couple months ago. He is to be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.

She Who Must Be Obeyed played at a couple of them. Actually died on Sunday, within 48-hours of a “Thank You Jimmy” benefit for him at which pretty much every musician in town attended.

Hard death is tough to take down here in South Austin. He was a mensch.

Just a detour from today’s bad craziness: our Nashville Predators finished off the Anaheim Ducks to take the Western Conference title (a first) and are going to their first-ever Stanley Cup Finals. As good as the rest of the team’s been playing this season, Pekka Rinne has been an almost superhuman beast at goal.

Congrats to the team (so far).

My thoughts. I’m no Mitch Landrieu obvs.

Some quick thoughts on the CSA memorials. I have no problem with their removal. Want to wave a CSA flag on your car or property, that’s your right, I think you’re confused personally since I don’t see how one can celebrate the CSA and proclaim to be a proud American but that’s your right. You don’t need to hate your ancestors who fought for the CSA either but they need not romanticized either. I have no illusions. I doubt my second great grandfather enlisted in the 123rd Pennsylvania to end slavery or that he was sensitive to the slaves’ plight. The other thing is we need to acknowledge Southern Union men and women who risked a lot to stand by their country in a difficult hour. Oh and please Virginia let’s not celebrate Lee/Jackson the same way we celebrate King. And honestly let’s get over the war. The CSA’s defeat was a good thing. I get that the average Southern man did not own slaves but even the poorest Southern white man benefited when the planter elites could point to a slave and say “At least that’s not you.” And honestly the CSA was founded on hypocrisy- the right to secede within the CSA was not looked on fondly. Another thing but the rebels and their leaders were treated much more kindly than they were in other countries. The CSA fighting man got to go home. Many rebels of past did not have that luxury.

Happy it’s because of Richard Mellon Scaife and his Pittsburgh Fibune, along with Hate Radio slime like Jim Quinn and everyone at KDKA. I was SHOCKED when I got an internet radio and tuned into KDKA and heard nothing but right wing hate filled bullshit.

Happy, I saw how the Republicans have now taken over in Beaver County where my hometown of Ambridge is. They’re letting their inner KKKlansmen run free…

And the sad truth is that the state most affected by Disability budget cuts will be West Virginia and they will STILL vote GOP after the cuts because they will continue to be brainwashed by the Republican 24/7 Bullshit Machine to blame Obama for the cuts!

I hadn’t a discussion during the election on Facebook about the red states. I asked some conservatives from small rural areas what they wanted. I pointed out that they bitch about things and when liberals offer to help, they bitch about that. Honestly, I think that’s what they’d want… they just want to bitch about everything

i believe it sigh. I am glad to say though that most of my relatives that still live in Pittsburgh are on the left. My great aunt’s children and grandchildren like my rants. Was disappointed to see that my mom’s cousin, who honestly is a very nice guy became a huge Trumper. It’s hard for me reconcile that the guy who makes us pierogis, nutroll, and kielbasa every Christmas loves Trump.

I really think a lot of them are miserable about the country they knew changing. They erally are threatened by minorities in positions of authority. They really are bothered by things like a Happy HOlidays greeting. I think it’s sad honestly. Ive seen my best childhood friend start to approach the word like a man much older than him.

I had the same observations when I talked about while most Southern whites did not own slaves, they still benefited from ti because the planeter elite could point to the slave and say “Well at least you ain’t that guy.” One thing I wish that could have happened in the South in the 19th century would have been for Southern whites to realize their common ground with slaves and overthrow the rotten neo-feudal system that was the Southern elite.

Someone spraypainted “Shame” across a Confederate monument the city of Norfolk, VA voted not to remove.
huffingtonpost.com

Joe Dillard, president of the NAACP’s Norfolk Chapter, speculated the vandalism could have been inspired by news coverage of a contentious battle in Charlottesville, Virginia, over its city council’s decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

While Dillard said he believes the spray-painter in Norfolk was likely someone “disgusted and fed up with these monuments of hate,” he said his organization doesn’t condone the vandalism.

“There are better ways to accomplish having these symbols of hate removed,” Dillard told The Virginian-Pilot.

I think I saw a history channel documentary on the slave patrols. You’re right. They were often selected from the bottom rungs of Southern white society. The position gave them a feeling of power that they may not have had otherwise and that instilled a false sense of racial superiority in them and their descendants.

I imagine there were crickets from people who have compared the Russia investigation to a lynching when an actual elected official called for lynching peopel who take down CSA memorials. Why don’t people get the fuck over it. Your ancestors lost. It was a great thing for this country but I guess when you’re raised on Lost Cause bullshit that treats Lee, Jackson, and the otehr CSA honchos as deities and Lincoln, Sherman, and Grant as tyrants, monsters, or lucky idiots, this is what happens.

Ailes son isn’t just a brat though. He has real power, that he doesn’t deserve, to carry out whatever evil thing he wants.

He’ll be making ads for Donald Trump, Jr or Eric in no time.

8 a.m. in Israel. Fuckface Von Clownstick’s Twitter is still quiet. I feel like a dork that I’m admitting I’m watching that fucking feed like a hawk on Tweetdeck, but there it is.

Still 1:00 AM DC time. His jet lag is huge. The older you are the tougher it is. Trust me on this.

My eastbound plan is easy.

Don’t Sleep And Stay Up Until It’s A Reasonable Bedtime In The UK.

You’re a basket case until you go to sleep, but you wake up the next morning and you are on UK time. No hoohoo.

Orange Foolius, of course, can’t do that. He has to be functional during the day of his arrival.

Sucks to be him.

I wouldn’t expect him to tweet until after his first scheduled event today, Euro-time. He’ll still be gobsmacked before then.

Now starting to get attacked by right wingers who think because I pointed out that terror attacks are intended to provoke hysteria and overreactions, that means I’m a disgusting monster who doesn’t care when little girls are murdered.

These people are really fucked up.

Can’t win with these fuckwits, can you?

What happened tonight was horrific, which was exactly the point, and you were absolutely correct about the motive.

Now they question you’re motivation for pointing out the obvious?

Fuck ‘em Charles. Continue to state the facts on the ground. It’s a winning strategy.

re: #170 FormerDirtDart

Watch it last night, amazing speech
And, it reminded me yet again that our president is incapable of speaking with such passion, intelligence and eloquence (not to mention coherence) for sixty consecutive seconds. Let alone over twenty minutes…

Possibly one of the greatest speeches in the history of American politics. Certainly the best in the long history of New Orleans. I’m a Louisianian, I’ve lived in and love New Orleans, I know every one of the damned statues and more than most people know about the Civil War and its aftermath. I grew up during segregation too. I know Mitch Landrieu doesn’t stand a chance of being nominated for president, buy I tell ya, I’d vote for him without reservation.

Anything seems to be a political statement to a lot of those folk.

You can care about people being murdered at the same time you care that acts of terror are designed to cause overreactions or terror. The two are not exclusive.

Note Ariana Grand has postponed her tour. I don’t know if that counts as an overreaction, but it is a predictable one.
