"Fixing a hole."

 

It's a podcast about the posts of the day — with digressions and expansions. 

Topics: "Will Trump win, Facebook censors Babylon Bee, Megyn Kelly insults Michael Savage, WaPo covers Biden blandly, Covid less deadly lately, random Amazon weirdness, Black people supporting Trump, the female Toobin."

Fixing A-hole?

Who is Ann's favorite Beatle?

M Jordan said...

Is the "Trump will win" a reference to Melissa Francis' tweet? I found that to be veerrryy interesting.

Patrick said...

Anyone else find it hard to listen to Ann's podcast for no other reason than her real voice is incongruent with your imagined one for her?

Patrick said...

My imagined voice for Ann is something like Kathleen Turner

It stops my mind from wandering.

Now that song is running through my head. Maybe I should try fixing a hole to keep my mind from wandering.

The joke is the absurdity of the duck test, meaning that the dems are off the wall irrational.

We have lost our fucking minds.

Can anyone explain why the article Hume linked to is considered "sensitive content" by Twitter?

Yancey Ward said...

What is Biden going to do if Trump, in his first speaking chance tomorrow night, just turns to Biden and says, "Joe, why don't we just ask each other questions and let the moderator just keep the time- she doesn't have to say a word, she can just cut the mic? That sound like a good plan, Joe?"

Could Joe turn down that offer?

And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right

Frist time listening to one of your podcasts; I'm impressed by your reasoning - Yes, I agree with you about FB - A) It is supposed to be a friendly chatty place rather than a community bulletin board and B) The Babylon Bee guys, sadly, may not be as smart as they think they look. Very interesting twist about Savage/Rush. I like your counterintuitive approach; you don't seem to rush in with the first emotion blast. You must be a good teacher and formidable lawyer - you must keep Meade on his toes! Do you two podcast together (I'm not such a regular - might have missed them)?

Which A-hole are you fixing?

Birkel cannot be fixed.

Re: "fairness" of Facebook's censorship policy, I find this article on Disrn.

Oh, my. You've got it quite wrong about the weight of the woman and the duck. In the movie they end up weighing the same to which the mob screams, "Burn Her!" and the so-called witch responds, "It's a fair cop." (Which I think is UK speak for meaning the trial was fairly decided.)

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering, where it will go.

Re: answering phone calls. I have the same policy you do - - I don't answer calls on my cell phone if it's not someone I know.

"No civil unrest". You must be one happy camper, Ma'am. That's what we've had all year long, right? No civil unrest. Just open-air celebrations of sweet reason, coupled with the occasional entirely peaceful request for redress of grievances. Oh, and campfires. Fresh-faced, smiling young people, singing Kumbaya by firelight. No reason it should be any different after the election.

That's why I've decided to quit buying ammo, it's gotten too expensive, and realistically, I've got more than I'm likely to need. Now I'm looking at protective gear. You don't need much ammo if you get killed before you can use it.

""No civil unrest". You must be one happy camper..."

Why are you quoting 3 words out of context? You'd better go back and listen, transcribe a full-context quote, copy it here, and apologize to me.

Utterly twisted. Completely misrepresented. Shame on you.

Jupiter said...

"Why are you quoting 3 words out of context?"

The idea that after the election, no matter who wins, there might be "no civil unrest", is a risible fantasy. The fact that you entertain that fantasy indicates that you are completely clueless about the goals and intentions of the vast criminal gang that recently trashed the city you live in. I do apologize, for pointing and laughing. Really, the situation is way too serious for that to be appropriate.

Do you really think, that if George Floyd had not overdosed on fentanyl on May 25th in Minneapolis, there would still be glass in the windows in downtown Madison, and your beloved statues would still be standing? You're living through the Russian Revolution, and you're pinning your hopes on Kerensky. In time of war, the law is silent.

Jupiter said...

"I'm just hoping for a nice, decisive outcome, and no civil unrest."

I don't see that the context improves it any. What do you think all this civil unrest has been about? Joe Biden? That asshole in Kenosha? The other asshole in Wauwatosa? The people who are paying for this are not acting from a deep concern for the welfare of Afro-American criminals. They don't care what Joe thinks about Green Energy. The war is not about the election. But the election is about the war. Pick a side. Or were you planning to sit this war out? You are, perhaps, not interested in war?

Jupiter said...

I guess I spoke too soon;

"The trucker who was attacked after driving into a massive protest on the Interstate 35W bridge following the killing of George Floyd was charged Thursday with two criminal counts from the May 31 incident."

In this war we are losing, the law is not silent. It is a weapon, to be used by the guilty, against the innocent.
