Someone mentioned George Carlin up thread.  This reminded me of his bit...

"Now listen, as long as we’re discussing minorities, I’d like to mention something about language.

There are a couple of terms being used a lot these days by guilty white liberals. First one is “happens to be”... “He happens to be black. I have a friend who happens to be black.” Like it’s a fucking accident you know?

Happens to be black?
“Yes, he happens to be black.”
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had two black parents?
“Oh yes, yes he did. Yes, that’s right.”
Right, and they fucked?
“Oh indeed they did... indeed they did.”

So where does the surprise part come in? I should think it would be more unusual if he just happened to be Scandinavian!

And the other term is “openly.” “Openly gay.” They say “he’s openly gay.” But that’s the only minority they use that for. You know, you wouldn’t say someone was “openly black.” ... well maybe James Brown... or Louis Farrakhan; Louis Farrakhan is openly black. Colin Powell is not openly black, Colin Powell is openly white; he just happens to be black."
😂😂. Great stuff

I'm amazed that there are people who like George Carlin being the same people whose mouths he'd shit in.

Well then you must be his biggest fan.


Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of f-ing Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos.

After two days of incessant rain, today looks to be very nice and sunny, yay.  We have reservations at what some say is the finest restaurant in the city tonight, we'll see, pre fixe menu.  

I had to get an e check on the car yesterday, it was different from how they did it in Cincy, didn't have to get out of the car and worry about someone mangling my clutch.

There is a waiver if you're over 65 and drive less than 5,000 miles a year, but your car has to be 10+ years old, which would be the type to have issues.  $25.

My book sales maxed at ten in one day, and now I think everyone who wanted one bought it.  I don't write to make money of course which is a good thing.   My wife said she finished it yesterday and thought it was moving, which is good, she doesn't read as well in English obviously.  There must be some really good authors extant who can't find and agent or publisher willing to do anything serious, I don't know how folks get found.  (I don't think I'm one of them.)  I know Grisham's first book languished until "The Firm" took off.

My notion is we fell into a rut with dining out, which we do a couple times a week.  There are plenty of nice places in walking distance that are easy to get to and we enjoy them, but I'm interested in trying places further afield (tonight's is a 12 minute drive they say).  There are more and more places opening up in the neighborhood and places we have yet to try also.

Our travel expenses are way down for obvious reasons, so I'm thinking of spending some of that dining out.  We're headed up into the mountains next month for three nights at a nice place (on  line).  Then we'll have our first air travel in October and December, at least that is planned anyway.  Have baseball Nov and Jan.

As opposed to White people who "identify" as being Black?

You're right.  I'm just making shit up.  Not supported by the facts at all.
Yes, you are making shit up. What are these facts you speak of? Hope you're not speaking of plots like the "kidnapping of the cunty Michigan governor" which amounts to basically nothing but a plot designed, instigated, & completely funded by the FBI itself. They are just taking their same playbook from the "war on terror" - in which they recruited, funded, and radicalized a bunch of losers- set all these plots up and then swooped in arrested them and declared they were "tough on crime and fighting terror!" Uhhhh, no they weren't. They were setting up their own plots & busting them trying to make themselves look useful. They are not useful. FBI should be busted up into a million pieces. 

The biggest danger to this country are all it's f#kn dipshit elected leaders, propagandistic media, and maybe even more dangerous to it is the bloated unelected bureaucracy which consists of the "intelligence" agencies and military industrial complex.

For the umpteenth time, I'm sorry that I'm not the far-left caricature that you imagine me to be.  Get over yourself and move the fuck on.
Of course you're not a lefty. And neither is freaking Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi. They are corporatist centrist Dems. The term liberal has lost all meaning. All of our language has it seems like.

You? You're what I'd call a mindless, thoughtless shitlib.

BTW, were you not aware of the DHS report back in 2009 in the Tea Party days that basically labeled anyone who liked small government as potential domestic terrorist?

One of my fellow bloggers at The Liberty Papers broke the story and got TONS of activity for our site that day... A site that normally cost about $0.50 per day in hosting fees hit about $50 in two days...

http://www.thelibertypapers.org/2009/04/12/homeland-security-document-targets-most-conservatives-and-libertarians-in-the-country/

This stuff didn't just start after Jan 6...
Was not aware- and that is terrifying.

I'm not sure there is a group not monitored by someone in the government. Black people who identified as being black were being watched by the FBI as recently as 2020.
What? Wait. What? Re-read this sentence.

Actually, he'd shit in the mouth of someone like you. And if you don't understand that or why- well let's just say it wouldn't shock me.

Margaritavile tower here downtown, I might need to go when they complete it was waste away a bit.  It has time shares and condos in it apparently.

Images: Is Margaritaville tower a surprisingly fine addition to Atlanta skyline? | Urbanize Atlanta

We might wonder that way when the weather gets nicer, it's probably a 3-4 mile walk, or hop on the subway.

The streetcar thing of course has been an utter failure.
