I wonder. But inside there is conversation. You start...
BACK FROM A HIKE: The temperature got up to 24° and that felt really warm. By the end, I had my hat and mittens off and my jacket unzipped.
February 18, 2021
Is it finally warm enough to go outside?

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 299 of 299How many Americans died today because of Biden's policies?
When will Hunter resign his position working for a communist Chinese company?
Has Joe ever met his newest grandchild?
What's on Hunter's laptop?
What's on Wiener's laptop?
Who killed Ashli Babbitt?
These are all simple questions with simple answers.
But the people we pay with our tax dollars won't tell us.
Achilles ignore the idiots..you know Inga can’t think her way out of a paper bag and the other idiot is a troll. Don’t waste your energy..you are better than that. I feel your pain..it’s like watching a car crash and people are giggling thinking it’s so funny but in reality it’s a completely horrendous situation. They will realize it soon enough and then will never be able to forget how stupid they were. Small
Comfort I know
Yeah. Forget the trolls Achilles. Keep sharpening your blade, stockpiling ammo and canned meats.
Eyes on the prize, my little muppet.
We will defeat the pure communist evil that is the Joe Biden administration if we tell enough lies to ourselves and then repeat them on the internet!
Awesome fantasy scenario that you’ve concocted.
Is Joe pushing for Gun Control? Yes or no?
Did Hunter Biden get 1.5 Billion dollars from a Chinese communist party company? Yes or no?
Do you think Xi would rather Joe passed gun control? Yes or no?
Now do reality. Like Trump in Helsinki, climbing up Putin’s trouser leg, in determining that there was no interference in the 2016 election.
Quotes please. Talk about random misdirection... Does thinking this hard give you a headache?
Notice the lefties never actually post any quotes or any things that actually happened or any results of actual policies.
Just some stupid assertion.
Gas prices are already going up under Biden. He has already blocked new energy exploration just like Putin wants.
Biden destroyed more jobs in his first month than the economy created.
Biden has already opened the southern border.
Kinda interesting to see current commenters way back in 2008. Loyalty.

I am waiting for some tests to run on a project I just compiled.
I just wanted to put a few things out there.
Anyone reading this knows that teabaghag is an idiot and a moral degenerate at this point. I am going to go back to work soon. ;)
Is Joe pushing for Gun Control? I hope to god that he pushes for common sense safeguards. And yes, you ammosexuals are waaaaaaaay off base on this. Wasn’t Obama supposed to take your guns away a decade ago? Still got ‘em? STFU
Did Hunter Biden get 1.5 Billion dollars from a Chinese communist party company? Since you seem to think yes is the answer, I’m gonna say No. Since you’ve proven that you are a disingenuous liar with a huuuuge axe to grind.
Do you think Xi would rather Joe passed gun control? I don’t give a fuck what a dictator wants. As a great philosopher once said: “I really don’t care, do you?”
Look anybody who calls themselves Teabag Hag is telling you who they are..don’t waste time with trolls. It’s creepy as hell that there are people that act like that and write what they do..but hey if that is who they want to show themselves to be..compassion for such a sad human condition is really the only appropriate response.
Can’t someone like a good cuppa tea, Irritable bowels?
You know what is almost as bad as shitheads that think genocide is OK?
Acronyms in technical design documents.
Is it that hard to just type a couple more words out?
Got back earlier from a two hour hike with the dog and at 20 degrees I felt like it was spring :))) Took off hat and mittens and enjoyed the sun. Small pleasures.
You already knew this happened but for your treasonous pleasure:

Thanks to Republicans in Georgia who stayed home in January, the Democrats control the entire federal Government (except maybe for the Supreme Court, and then only until one of the constitutionalist Justices dies or goes on life support or changes his mind). You want your right of free speech to object to policies that privilege "identity" over reality? You want the right to "keep and bear arms"? You want your daughters and granddaughters to use a locker room that excludes "girls" with dicks? Do you think Joe Biden will protect you?
Dreamer!

I expect to see that here in the US soon.

Holy smokes.
Our Texas relief mobilization has already raised $325k for food, housing, elder care & direct relief straight to vulnerable Texans.
This might be a little crazy... but can we raise $1M by midnight?

AOC has done more for Texans than their elected reps who are either on Hannity whining about things or are vacationing in Mexico.
Some people were born to be good women who are good wives to good men.
Some people were born to be good men who are good husbands to good women.
Some people were born to be the sort of person who has love in his or her heart, and who everyone remembers fondly, with the deep and passionate love we all should feel for people who were kind to people we care about.
Some people were born to be, well, less selfish and nasty than one would have expected, given the bad cards they were dealt in life.
Abortion is wrong. If your girlfriend says, if you love me, you will support me in this (this being the murder of your child), and you agree, well YOU MADE A MISTAKE. If you are a guy who wants your girlfriend to abort the child, THINK ABOUT THE CHILD FOR JUST A MOMENT
----- the poor little critter wants to be born, does not want to be destroyed.
DON'T LET SOME MIDWIT DOCTOR KILL YOUR CHILD.
This is your world, you do not need to let people kill your children.
Mutaman, you creep, poor little AOC wants all those Hispanic women in Texas to be able to have as many abortions as they want.
Maybe you don't care, but I do.
Ted Cruz cares and you don't.
"Kinda interesting to see current commenters way back in 2008. Loyalty."
How many commenters from, let's say, 2008 are there still here? I was a reader most days in 2008, but not a commenter that I remember- I definitely didn't comment regularly- I would remember that. I would guess rhhardin, MadisonMan, The Drill Sgt, Dust Bunny Queen, and I am coming up blank other than Meade. Anyone in the thread tonight go back to 2008, even if under a different moniker?
Robert Cook for sure.
Well in 1985 I was offered a job as an actual drill sergeant, but that does not count
And I seem to remember rcocean goes back that far, but am unsure.
"The Senator from Texas saw a crisis and escaped to the Ritz Carlton in Cancun.
Meanwhile, a congresswoman from New York - whom that TX Senator regularly uses as a punching bag - just raised a million dollars for Texans."

We officially raised $1 million for Texas relief at 9:17pm.
Thank you all so much.

ALL OF IT IS GOING TOWARDS KILLING BABIES!
Mutaman, stop being a stooge for people who have hatred in their heart. I have no idea where you were born, I have no idea if you have any kindness in your heart, but I do know that you have never said ONE SINGLE WORD in support of all those little black and brown babies who will never see the light of day because Alexandria Ocaisio Cortez wants to be POWERFUL and because she, like you, does not care about the victims of abortion.
TeabagHag ---- shut up, you don't care and you know it.
"Mutaman - now tell us how many little babies in Texas are never gonna see the light of day because that awful woman supports abortion."
Cooper proving once again that geniuses like him believe life begins at conception and ends at birth. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands Steve- why not take a quick trip to Mexico.

I just lit a candle for each victim.
Can I have an opinion now?
TeabagHag ---- shut up, you don't care and you know it.
I actually do, you one-issue ninny.
I hate abortion. I want no part of one.
I think Freeman Hunt was commenting that far back, Freder, too. Maybe chicklet, Nichevo, Sprezzatura (who disappeared for a long time before returning recently). Bruce Hayden, maybe, I could have been misremembering him being here since he and I used to comment at other sites during that time.
TeaBag --- tell me one time when you ever thought for more than a second about a victim of abortion.
And here is another issue.
That poor little vicious woman "folding hands" could not help herself in trying to make Ted Cruz look bad.
Tell me she does not have hatred in her heart.
Teabag , the world belongs to people who care about each other.
YOU CAN TRIUMPH ALL YOU WANT ON THE FUCKING INTERNET but you know as well as I do that abortion is not a "single issue"
Some time, when you cool down, I will explain to you the correspondence between caring about people, about being someone who has love in her heart, and the various "single issues" that your mentors like Bill Gates are so eager to instruct you on.
TeaBag Hag --- you get to have an opinion when you actually say something nice about the people who you lit those candles for.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
never thought about that, did you, candle creep that you are .....
Ok, Stevie. Ready?
.............................
I just thought about the tragedy that is abortion, again.
Now can we talk about raising $1,000,000 is a positive thing? How AOC has done more tangible good for Texas in an hour than Ted has done, during his whole time in office?
Without your perverted judgement?
My name is Stephen.
Commenters who used to comment a lot but vanished sometime in the last 12 years? My memory isn't that good. I remember Palladian, but not sure when he disappeared, but maybe just changed monikers.
WHAT WERE THE NAMES OF ALL THOSE BABIES WHOSE DEATHS YOU LIT THOSE CANDLES FOR????
You know you have no idea, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Be better tomorrow. God created you to be full of love, not full of whatever it is that makes you a patron of abortionists WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
Ummmm, isn’t that the tragedy at hand? They didn’t get names, bud.
Stephen,
Please don't feed the guy. Why would you do that?
Yancy, the adults are talking. Why don’t you go see if your game boy is charged up?
Ted kept the fake Mexican (John Kerry, Jr.) from being elected senator...good enough for me.
So tell me what their names were.
The reason you can't is because you never cared.
I know their names. I am old enough to have spent hours every day thinking about this.
And 50 million names ---- I could start today on 50 million names, but hey, this AOC creep raised a few bucks and you watched the shiny little light and forgot that SHE VOTED AND WILL ALWAYS VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT LITTLE BLACK AND BROWN BABIES TO BE ABORTED TODAY TOMORROW AND FOREVER.
Like I said, if you want to tell me I don't care, get ready to tell me I DON'T CARE ABOUT ALL THE MILLIONS OF THEM AND I AM NOT READY TO TELL YOU ALL THEIR NAMES
their baby daddies and their baby mommies and poor AOC could not tell you one single name and I could easily tell you all 50 million names
but you go on being you and tell us bullshit about (folded hands) "we found MONEY FOR THOSE POOR TEXANS" ---- you have no idea how disgusted I am with abortionists
To be absolutely accurate, I could tell you all 50 million names in a simple long podcast (you do the math) BUT HEY HANDS FOLDED WE GOT a few bucks here and there for TEXANS WHO DO NOT NEED CHARITY.
Think about it.
AOC does not like you, she does not like your little brown or black babies. WAKE UP!
Yancey ---- I am very very kind to the worst people I have ever met.
Tea Bag is an angel of light compared to people who I have talked to in the past.
AOC following Pelosi's model for destroying people's lives. "We feed them!"
Stephen, I actually hear you loud and clear. I see you are quite passionate about this.
I am a bit confused though. You keep asking for names. I mean this sincerely, in earnest good faith: have you really named 50 million aborted fetuses?

The shapeshifting Ritmo troll immediately comes to mind.
Yeah, I thought of Fen just a few minutes ago.
I go back to about 2008, but I cannot say more than “about” with wide error bars. I remember sneering at “cruel neutrality” the moment it appeared, because *Althouse had already voted for Obama in the primaries* when she announced that absurd self-deception.
TeaBagHag said...
Yancy, the adults are talking. Why don’t you go see if your game boy is charged up?
I hate to break this to you...
You aren't very smart.
Everyone who reads your posts can see it. Even Inga stopped calling Trump a Russian stooge out of embarrassment.
You have to be below Inga to still think that Russian Collusion is a thing and she is room temperature IQ.
I can usually identify Ritmo regardless of the handle, but, he does seem to have vanished in the last year, but then I skip so many troll comments, I might be missing him in many of these threads.
I remember sneering at “cruel neutrality” the moment it appeared, because *Althouse had already voted for Obama
Would the only way to be cruelly neutral, in your view, not to vote at all?
Or was it because she didn’t champion for your horse?
Michael McNeil goes back that far, but he rarely comments these days. Mikee is also back that far, I think.
I am going to go back to the election day threads of 2008 and see who was in those comments. Should be a nice big sample size.
Anyone in the thread tonight go back to 2008, even if under a different moniker?
I was here in 2008. I was here in 2007. Changed names during the late unpleasantness when many went to Lem's for a time.
TeaBag Hag ---- believe it or not, I like you ... and I get what AOC is doing ...
but i Have in my heart real hatred for the puppet masters who want to encourage abortion, particularly in black and Hispanic neighborhoods, because it is EASY to make black and hispanic women make that mistake ..... to be fair, lots of white women make that mistake too. THAT IS NOT MY FAULT, or your fault, and poor AOC does what she does, in a way it is not her fault either. OH I WISH TO GOD SHE WOULD LISTEN TO ME FOR JUST A MINUTE ON THE SUBJECT .... for God's sake, we live in a country where the easiest access to abortion is in BLACK AND HISPANIC NEIGHBORHOODS .... look I do not want easy access to abortion in WHITE NEIGHBORHOODS but whether I am white or not I gotta SAY I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE ABORTION IS ON PURPOSE MADE MORE AVAILABLE TO ONE RACE THAN ANOTHER .....
look, poor little AOC hasn't figured that out yet, I WANT HER TO UNDERSTAND.
We live in a country where black and brown women are ENCOURAGED TO GET ABORTIONS at a greater rate than white women, I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THAT.
TeaBagHag
I object to pretending. Althouse had already voted for Obama. She was not neutral. Her claim to neutrality was self delusion or mendacity.
It would be as if Michael K, having donated to the GOP candidate claimed one day that he was neutral: Too silly to believe.
Well, I checked the election night thread from 2008- 805 comments. Confirms some of the longstanding commenters I did remember except for Hayden. Balfegor is one I probably would have thought of if I had stuck with it. I'm Full of Soup was in the thread, along with Lem, so was Titus.
Ones missing that commented a lot on that thread were Palladian who I mentioned above, Synova, who I don't remember at all, and some commenter named Simon who I vaguely remember.
Stephen Cooper, believe it or not, the feeling is mutual.
Question for the group; is a “troll” sometimes, someone who interrupts a good circle-jerk of hive mind thought?
I’ll take my answer off the air.
Another not in the election thread, but I just thought of is Ignorance is Bliss- he definitely goes back that far.
Wince also probably goes back that far.
TeaBag --- I believe it.
To be fair, I posted alot tonight to take my mind off of the fact that I watched, earlier tonight, for the first time in 20 years, a movie I once watched with someone who , well , I probably will never watch a movie with again ---- SAD ---- but, to be accurate, my problems are my problems, they are not your problems, and they never will be your problems, because I just won't ever let that happen. I am human too.

Fair enough. I took the term as more describing the intended tone of the Althouse blog.
I’ve noticed the comments here also veer from the course of cruel neutrality, from time to time.....

Hey man, I apologize for seeming flippant about something that is serious and clearly is close to your heart.
Sending you positive vibes. I hope you find a little peace and healing tonight.
What was the film, if I may ask?
You kids need to go outside and play.
"The Tender Trap" ---- the scene that really makes my heart hurt is the scene where Sinatra, a few hours after listening to Debby Reynolds singing a song, asks her to sit next to him on the piano bench, and then he sings the exact same song the way it should have been sung, (she had sung the song in a sort of excited way, he sang it - well, what he said was, you sang that song too excitedly, you need to let the song settle a little bit, and then he sang it with love in his heart, she had not sung it with love in her heart ---- in the movie ---- God only knows who they were in real life) and she falls in love with him (in the movie).
It just brought back way too many memories for me.
That is my problem, nobody else's.
ARM might go back that far.
Facebook should be nationalized.
They fucked up badly with Oz. Watch for basically every self respecting country in the world to slap serious restrictions on them. My suggestion is that every country ban the app, and build their own compatible app. Different apps share the data. Same for Twatter.
Also need to nationalize google, AWS, Apple. Trickier for foreign governments but they need to act too.
Zukerberg was too arrogant and foolish this time, and it will cost him.
Back in 2008 I was a regular, but that was when my kids were tiny and before I became a teacher. Now they're all adults -- my youngest just enlisted in the Army last summer. Weird how the time goes by.
ARM doesn't go back that far, IIRC, but Freeman Hunt, DBQ, bagoh20 (sp?) were around back then. I read everything in those days! I remember some really excellent (and frustrating) philosophical discussions with someone who's handle I cannot remember.
My profile pic was photo shopped for me from an original Althouse photo by Althouse then-regular Chip Ahoy, whom I haven't seen in ages.
I still miss SippicanCottage.
People like Stevie think the only purpose of government is to restrict abortion. When people in power think that way, the result is what's now going on in Texas and what's been going on in the entire country since last February. This is the Know Nothing mentality ( "I don't take responsibility at all) and the end result is 500,000 dead souls.
Government can do more than pass anti-abortion laws. it can actually fix it so our lives are better.
I've been here since before 2008.

No, taking your kids to Cancun does not make you a bad person.
Joe Biden killing 100,000 good union jobs on the keystone pipeline as if those people didn't have lives or families does.
Ted Cruz, his wife and neighbors fled their cold houses, blaming the kids and leaving their poodle alone in their house to chill out. This happened after Cruz criticized other pols for doing the exact same thing.
Only a 1.2 mile section of the Keystone XL heavy crude pipeline has been built so it is difficult to imagine 100,000 workers were working together in Northern Montana this time of year inside of a square mile area. TC Energy, the Canadian company doing the construction has said "more than 1,000" people (likely Canadians) are out of work because of Biden’s executive order.
And while I disagree that environmental nor tribal land damage will result from building a needed pipeline, Biden's purely political action somehow was not worse than what Trump did on January 6. But appealing to logic to link Cancun trips to pipelines to insurrection needs to be shown to be a stupid thought process.
BTW - union jobs are only good for union boss salaries paid from high dues.
Air Force One will probably fly over Texas today. President Asterisk may look out the window. Unless they call a lid.

Where does the pipe come from? Who makes it? Did they have to put on an extra shift or give overtime? Who delivered it? Who digs the cut? Welding rod. Welding gas. Who gets those? Who tests the welds? Heat. Shelter. Food. Transportation. It isn't just some 3 or 4 dozen people mucking about in a hole in the ground. It's thousands of people directly and indirectly.
" I need a thousand miles of schedule 80 24 inch welded streel pipe. Quote me cost and delivery."
The problem with the progressives is that you have no idea how things are made or how things get done. For you, like electricity, these things somehow magically appear.
I was here in 2008 Yancey. Don’t know about my super serial alter ego Howard.
The trouble with you people who build things is you have no idea how bullshit is produced. It isn’t 434 people mucking about in a hole in the ground. It is a hot air pipeline employing thousands of basement dwellers nationwide.
“I need a thousand words STAT. Make up some quotes and deliver.”
Not sure when I started commenting. Seems like I've been here at least that long. Like a lot of people, I slid in here from Insty.
Is it finally warm enough to go outside?
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I know I commented here that far back, but might have spent more of my time on Just One Minute back then.
Two good, brief videos posted yesterday at Cafe Hayek:
Walter Williams Explains the Simple (Il)Logic of Using Minimum Wages to Help Poor Workers
and, by blog author Don Boudreaux
Economics in the Style of Adam Smith
"No, they're not going to get a job in the first place."
That's a truth. The important thing about the minimum wage is to be skeptical of people who insist that minimum wage is the one thing that doesn't adhere to the law of supply and demand, and that pay roll is the only cost not passed on to consumers.
"If Jesse Jackson... or other liberal economists." Wait -- is he an economist?
Then you got all mad about something at JOM and were gone. I remember that post!
Yep Yancey - I've wasted many years here. Not sure when I started - used to use the name AJ Lynch.
Althouse & Meade should start a Wall of Fame for her best commenters of all time. Chip Ahoy, Bago, Bruce Hayden, Bissage [gone but not forgotten] are a few who would get my vote.
I might go back to 2008, or not.
I was here in 2008. Might have been before I changed from 'Mike' to 'Original Mike'.
Laslo Spatula had a few previous monikers but I don't know if his comments go all the way back to 2008. He was Betamax 3000 and Naked Bob Dylan Robot or something like that.
I had visited Althouse blog as early as 2008 but didn't start paying any attention until 2018 or so, and didn't start commenting until May 2019.

Late bloomer
"Yep Yancey - I've wasted many years here. Not sure when I started - used to use the name AJ Lynch.
I think I knew you had changed monikers at some point, but I couldn't remember last night what the old one was- I had the feeling that "Full of Soup" was quite a bit more recent, but it wasn't surprising to see it in that old thread.
Yes, Joan, I remember you well, I just didn't know if you were still commenting here. I thought you probably did, but not nearly as often. Yes, Bagoh goes back that far.
Yancey - when I changed, which was within the last year or so, the system changed the User ID all the way back too even on comments I made under the old user ID. That is why you saw I'm Full of Soup in 2008. I definitely did not use that back then.
