At the Sunrise Café...

9EB2CC86-EE11-420B-B23C-31D1875D256E_1_201_a

... it's long after sunrise, but you can talk through the night, and if you do, there will be another sunrise.

I'm checking out for the night. We just watched a movie on TV, "The Sandpiper." That was some rich dreck.

"That was some rich dreck."


"...The first appearance of “dreck” in English found so far occurs, interestingly, in James Joyce’s 1922 novel Ulysses, used as a personal insult (“Farewell. Fare thee well. Dreck!”), but such ad hominem use is not very common today."

will Trump 'cruise to victory'?

While with my family of Bleeding Heart, card carrying Liberals; they were united in:
A) being DISGUSTED with the idea of self identified 'women' being able to use women's locker rooms
B) Thinking (and SAYING) that 'all this craziness' had gone 'TOO FAR'!!
(oh, and...)
C) BLAMING Donald Trump for "the extra letters on the LGB stuff

So, do i think Trump will 'cruise to victory'?
“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”

"Checking out" is ambiguous. No more posts, OK. No more peeking at comments?

We'll see.

Oh yeah the Sandpiper. Liz as an artsy bohemian. Lol. She sucked in just about everything except Butterfield 8 and Night of the Iguana.

Althouse blogspot, september 2016. Seems like yesterday..

"When he makes claims like this, the press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally."

"“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”"

If you see money you had at one point in time but no longer go somewhere specific would you consider it money "lost" and if so why? Does "lost money" mean something different than there were, for example, gold coins placed underground at a forgotten juncture and therefore because of that context it was considered "lost" money?

Guildofcannonballs said...

Anyone, like Althouse, or not, think that guy from the NYT that Trump "ridiculed" or "mocked" or "belitteled" or "whatever" oops, not that last one, believe Trump hurt him by treating him as a man worthy of being mocked (even though Trump never imitated or belittled or mocked)?

That was his high light.

Trump does that. It is tough stuff to make or break a company that can deliver, or can't, based on your whatever.

It's tough all around. New York.

Glad they came back after 9/11, hope those Spaniards do after their shit. I was in Ireland at the time of the Madrid Spain bombings. Only time I left the USA and fucking terrorists attack. And win.

Soeaking of madrid, it was a day before that bombing, comey chose to put the surveillance program in limbo. Seeing as the terrorist send a go signal before, maybe they might have been able to stop them.

The parents made us go upstairs when that one was on.

Same thing with Night of the Iguana.

Sure sure, but how do they end up in academia if they are stopped?

Oh right! Obama's fundraising superstar Bill Ayers.

Outline.com can frequently get you behind a paywall. For example, WaPo's:

Rachel Maddow rooted for the Steele dossier to be true. Then it fell apart.
DECEMBER 26, 2019

By Erik Wemple
Media critic
Dec. 26, 2019 at 11:43 a.m. EST
Fifth in a series on the media’s handling of the Steele dossier. See Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4.

https://outline.com/KAfLgp

1 = ‘The story stands’: McClatchy won’t back off its Michael Cohen-Prague reporting

2 = Horowitz report confirms John Solomon’s scoop on FBI ‘spreadsheet’ regarding Steele dossier

3 = ‘Disinformation’ claim ‘galls’ dossier author Christopher Steele

4 = CNN lands an interview with its own contributor

"...So we’re not arguing here that CNN’s anchors are going easy on McCabe because he’s a colleague — just that the underlying arrangement is offensive, awkward and corrupting."


Unfortunately, Outline.com only provides the article, with no mention of the links.

Or the 4000+ mostly disappointed comments. Like:

'Wemple is usually a decent writer, but he suffers from the "both sides" syndrome and fly-specking that afflicts Glenn Kessler. This article is one of his weakest entries in months.

But do give him a chance, he's no where near the unadulterated, joyous bootlicking of Thiessen and Hewitt.'

Imagine a world where ayers bomb had gone off, as intended at ft. Dix, you guestimate his lifespan would probably have been measured in days, he would have been dispatched and at least promising political career would have beem cut short.

I cried when Blackie was about to die.

Coen True Grit not Duke.

Hailee whatever ought have a great long should-career. She will never know what those outside her ethnicity have encountered in her chosen field. But her and God forbid all those others will be taught things other than true. Should she actually believe in other-than-Onanism she ought then be appreciated.

It's impossible she could ever know what Hollywood as shown via Weinstein means. Her life is light years away from realities such as that.

Just as the Coens showed in their great flick Hail Caesar which I bought via con Bezos, we all must know enlightenment isn't just celluloid.

Andrew said...

Serious question: Does anyone here actually know a single person who celebrates Kwanzaa? My impression is that it's a fake holiday, but because of "diversity" during the holiday season we are obligated to pay lip service to it. The only people who seem to mention it regularly are journalists, celebrities, teachers/school administrators, and politicians. (I.e. the Democratic Party coalition.) But does anyone actually celebrate it?

you've probably seen this oldie from Coulter--

actual, genuine, deliberate celebrating.
Maybe it's supposed to be celebrated on the DL?

The Cracker Emcee Refulgent said...

My Mom once accidentally bought Kwanza wrapping paper. She'd never heard of the holiday but liked the design.

Anyway, now comes one of my favorite hybrid seasons. The long, varied, blustery, dark but gradually lightening, march into the full glory of Spring.

Michael K said...

Hilarious correction by NY Times. The "Memorial Service" at which 13 people were shot in Chicago was "for the carjacker who was shot and killed and not for the victim of the carjacking." The carjacker tried to take a car from a guy with a CCW and a gun. The NY Times (not the Chicago papers) could not imagine a crime victim fighting back and shooting the asshole trying to rob him. Imagine how hard it is to get a CCW permit in Chicago without being a politician.

That was some rich dreck.

Perhaps the greatest single line review of "The Sandpiper".

I used to think I should like to ought to think "Nazi's" and not just, without the apostrophe, "Nazis."

The most remarkable thing about The Sandpiper is the complete absence of hobbits and Nazgûl.

No wonder it bombed in the megaton range. What's a fantasy world without fuzzy little good guys chased by weirdos riding pteranodons?

I don't see where you are going with this?
WHY would a 'fantasy world' have historical characters in it?
SURELY, you're NOT doubting the historical accuracy of Tolkien's translations?

Rank-and-File Workers Get Bigger Raises

The amount of daylight is increasing but so is the number of cold days. The weather will most likely be increasingly inclement over the next two months or so. I look forward to this. I love this time of year.

Our so-called Republican governor has communicated to the Feds that MA is willing to participate in the refugees resettlement program. The Democrat Mayor of Springfield has communicated a spirited no thank you. Sarno, the mayor, has long held that Springfield does more than its fair share when it comes to providing a new home to refugees, that refugee resettlement will concentrate poverty and place an unfair burden on the school system.

People are strange, especially political people here it seems.

etbass said...

"Is everyone drunk?"

Not everyone but a few, for sure. The cafe post is a good one for some unrelated observations and comments. But it does seem to be weighted with drunkeness, some insanity, and incoherence.

The Sandpiper. Those amazing beach scenes. The VIPs minus fur coats so whatever it was they were draping over Elizabeth Taylor's bikini to cover the whisky bloat. Butterfield 8 a decade after. Then Under Milkwood. Taming of the Shrew proving Shakespeare belongs to blowsy commoners. Leonard Nimoy embracing his second career as a beatnik bard celebrating obese women's sexuality, and William Shatner's bongo-inflected long form poetry.

And then there's Boom. We really have forgotten the best parts of the Librium Purple Heart Wild Turkey generation. Pot is for dummies.

Chuck said...

With at least one public opinion poll showing support for Trump’s impeachment and removal approaching 55%, does that make the Magic Number 5 (percentage points) to get to 60%, or is it 11 to get to 66%?

Public approval for the impeachment and removal of Nixon was at 57% the week that he resigned.

https://althouse.blogspot.com/2019/12/in-wake-of-combative-impeachment.html?m=1

It would now seem clear that “impeachment and removal” polls better than Trump’s own personal approval at any time in his presidency.

What looks like drunkenness, insanity, and incoherence to you may be therapeutic for those who post . . . but wooowooowooo is probably the best theory.

Tina Trent wrote, "And then there's Boom. We really have forgotten the best parts of the Librium Purple Heart Wild Turkey generation. Pot is for dummies."

Which is very poetic, but what does it mean? Who makes up the LPHWT generation? Is that inside-Hollywood riffing per the first paragraph?

The federal district court ruled that Chicago has to follow the same CC laws as the rest of the state. So it's all good. The rank and file Chicago cops appreciate the extra firepower.
