God's Own Crunk

I have a skanky relative partaking in this activity, and said relative isn’t allowed at any family gathering’s I’m involved in until she gets a job and stop doing … this.

The problem for a person with little self-control being on a stipend while traveling for work is that whole thing about having no self-control. When you are temporarily living a hundred yards from Wal-Mart, your diet goes to shit.

Heh:

Now where were we? Oh yes, Tina Fey. Now, just the other day Tina… umm… is everything all right? I mean, you have the strangest look in your subthalamus. Oh…! Oh, this. The bikini. Funniest thing. Turns out once I’m inside a liberal’s head, It’s like poof! Off with the clothes. I tell ya, it’s gotten to the point that I really don’t even notice it anymore. No, don’t be embarrassed or ashamed, most of your friends don’t even give me the bikini.

This is from S.E. Cupp, a fellow atheistCon commenting about why womynz vote for Donkeys:

So I put the blame squarely on the shoulders of women. As everyone knows, we’re the smarter sex, so why shouldn’t we be held accountable for the way we vote? And if most women are voting for Democrats, they must have their reasons.

Really, S.E.? I didn’t see tongue in the cheek, so not sure if serious.

Although I get dangerously close to beating a dead horse here, the march of civilization has continued in spite, not because, of those presumably smart womynz. Their token accomplishments are noted, the most notable of which are the fantastic skyrocketing of Federal spending on every trivial problem under the sun since they got all suffrage’d.

I will admit, if we’re going to weigh the balance of degrees awarded in “I think” classes that don’t get stained by application of pesky numbers, then yeah, the womynz are mosdef excelling. In the grand scheme of things, XX’s major contribution to society has been not dying in the nine months it takes them to spit out the men who actually get things done.

A great piece from Captain Capitalism – cue Dostoevsky and one of the great understanding to living a good life: Money is coined liberty. It was true then, it’s true now, and it will forever be true – read the whole piece:

Naturally, these experiences and observations formed some of my economic theories as well as formed my goals in life – namely, I HATED being poor and swore I would have fun.

To this day you can see that come to fruition. Though not rich, I opt for leisure and do whatever I can to maximize my fun. I do the fossil hunting, the mountain climbing, the motorcycle riding, the video gaming and the Rumpleminzing. I have no kids so I can maximize my disposable income on me as well as spend all my time on me and my friends.

RSM picks up on a point that E and I were talking about the other day – I post this as much for his benefit as the general GOC reading public. RSM’s not a fan of Dreher’s book CrunchyCons, but I enjoyed it when it came out, fwiw – however, I’ve enjoyed little that Dreher’s written since then, fwiw2.0:

This kind of thing never works out well for Dreher, whom Maguire catches accusing George Zimmerman of being “paranoid,” which is doubly hilarious given that Dreher was writing in the context of being cautious about the facts of the case.

In fact, I have said all along that we have to be wary of trying the case in the media, so I agree with Dreher on that — as does Maguire, for that matter — but the way Dreher jumps to a diagnosis of paranoia totally defeats his point. (Evidently, Dreher had seized on an Orlando Sentinel typo about the frequency of Zimmerman’s 911 calls.)

Watching Denver’s treatment of Tim Tebow has been an eye-opener, even for this seasoned observer of the cold-blooded nature of the NFL and its off-season machinations. If you don’t follow the NFL off-season because, I dunno, you have something of a life to live, the following dominos, in order, fell atop Tebow:

• Around the time of the Combine, it was becoming clear that Indianapolis was growing more interested in drafting Andrew Luck. The Colts could do this because of how poorly their team fared without injured, aging QB Peyton Manning.
• Manning is no mentor and everyone knew that.
• When it became clear that Manning was going to be cut loose as an unrestricted free agent, several teams threw in – among them, Arizona, San Francisco, Miami, Tennessee and, ta-da, Denver.
• John Elway didn’t pick Tebow in the 2010 draft, but he is the GM of Denver now. In short, he gets to be the bad guy.
• Denver, recall, was a terrible team in 2011. After a 1-4 start, Tebow became the starter and by every unorthodox manner imaginable, led the team to seven wins in its next eight games, thrust them into the playoffs, and won a playoff game to boot against Pittsburgh.
• Last week, Manning flew out to Denver and spent a good deal of time there. Fast forward a week, and Manning is now a Bronco, and he’s humming along on a 5-year, $96 million contract, and Tebow suddenly finds himself to be a sweet piece of trade meat.
