So we all know that HUD has declared that you can't evict anyone for the foreseeable future on account of the whole coronaids thing, yeah? Given that, here's the pitch: The Odd Couple 2. Trump invokes that to stay in the White House and calls in film crews to the residential bits, which he can do as a resident. Be honest with yourself, you'd watch it.

It's a funny old world where the guy who uses the words "peaceful and patriotic" multiple times during his address is Inciting to Riot but the BLM guy in the capitol-raiding mob who says "Let's burn this motherfucker down" is regarded with "He was vocal, but I wouldn’t say he was inciting violence".

And just you try and find information in the MSM, or even on this very site, about how said BLM guy says he knew about the plan to storm the capitol way in advance. You'll have your work cut out for you because that would mean Trump was completely innocent on the impeachment charges, since you cannot incite something long after it's been planned, organized, and is getting ready to be carried out.

For those of you who figure us indian types sit around bemoaning our terrible fate every November, I offer you a message from Bill Annoatubby, Governor of the Chickasaw Nation (Since 1987. We dig him that much.). Yup, we get our family and too much food on and spend our day off appreciating what we have to be thankful for too. If you're being a contrarian asshat, you're not just doing it alone, you're doing it in direct opposition to the folks you think you're supporting.

Pin your reports of angry Republicans killing, stealing, and destroying en masse over the election here. I'll expect a list at least as bad as the one of Dems from 2016.

Turns out the "Proud Boys" intimidation emails came from a mail server in Estonia and appear to be of Russian and Iranian origin. Oops. Guess you'll have to switch to the "muh Russians" narrative instead of "muh racists".

Ever find a field on an official form that you don't really have need of, have no idea what to put in it, but it's a required field? Well, here's what I do. These are what I've put as payout descriptions on Stripe to BoA transfers over the past year:

• bribes and hush money
• monthly embezzlement
• hookers and blow
• normal old transfer
• from some nigerian prince

Note: Occasionally telling Stripe to pay out whatever is in our account with them to our BoA account is the sum total extent of my involvement with SN finances.

Aight, screw election year crap. Let's talk about something that really matters this weekend. The shitty state of vocals in music these days.

Look, Simon the douche-pickle and company, I'm fucking sick to death of you tools telling the nation think perfect pitch and complete lack of vocal character are what we should want to listen to. Fuck your vanilla, cookie-cutter, soulless voice clones. You're making everything into nothing better than fucking muzak.

No, fuck that. Let's talk about vocal artists who aren't completely interchangeable instead. Motherfuckers who can't be replaced because they actually put what makes them special into their music, themselves. The folks who you can hear sing and instantly tell who they are.

Here's some to get us on the same page and get things rolling:

• Dolly Parton
• Louie Armstrong
• Johnny Cash
• Mick Jagger
• Brian Johnson
• Willie Nelson
• Mike Ness
• Bob Dylan(decades ago Bob, recent bob is just entirely unintelligible even to fans)
• Cab Calloway
• Hell, Marshal Mathers even

That's my shortlist, whadda you guys got?

Update: This discussion got me to searching around. Just found Coulter Wall. Sounds like Johnny cash had a child with a bottle of whiskey. You can thank me below.

Apparently when I sacked out earlier I had left the TV and XBox in the other room on. One of the perks of being in your mid-40s though is you can rest assured that you will be up during the night to whiz and get a second chance to notice it. Now Microsoft being Microsoft, they just can't help advertising on the home screen about whatever random crap they're trying to push on you this week. Usually it's whatever they've replaced Gold Memberships with this week. Not this time though.

No, this time they felt the need to tell me to make sure and register to vote. Which is generally just annoying since nobody actually gives a fuck if you vote or not unless they're pretty sure you're going to vote for their lizard. It was annoying tonight for about ten seconds, then I remembered that it's five days too late to register if you want to vote in the November elections here in TN, six by the time the registration office opens in the morning. Which struck me as hilarious since I never heard a word about registering from them all last month.

So, my question is this: Was someone at Redmond trolling like a boss or are they stepping up their game as far as incompetence goes?

Good ole Slate, always ready, willing, and able to let everyone know exactly what kind of insane shit yall woke motherfuckers have going through your heads. Child abuse for social justice, baby!

So everyone's all got their panties in a bunch over the whole RBG spot on SCOTUS and Azuma the First has brought up the "What do you want in a Justice" question lately as well. Well, here's my $0.02.

I don't want anyone Trump would be likely to pick. And I sure as fuck don't want anyone Biden would be likely to pick. I do not want a Justice who will rule on any issues the way I think the law (or Constitution) should be written. I don't want a Justice who will take what's good for the government or the nation into account. I don't even want one who will take what's necessary for the government or the nation into account. I want a Justice who will absolutely always rule on the letter of the law, going to the spirit only if there is legitimate (not hairbrained, grasping for any straw) confusion about what the letter of the law actually meant to the authors at the time it was written.

Let's have an example. I don't have issue with the ramifications of Roe v. Wade. It's not an issue I feel I have wisdom enough to have an opinion on. I do, however, have every issue in the world with the legal contortions necessary to render the utterly shittastic and completely unfounded in law ruling. The proper ruling could have either been "Where life begins is for each state to decide," or "Where life begins is for Congress to decide via Amendment". Any other ruling is atrocious and absurd judicial overreach.

I'm probably about the only one who genuinely wants a court who will rule according to the actual law instead of what they think it should be though.
