Your Tuesday Night Open Thread

[watching Logan’s Run on TCM]

You know which old sci-fi movie would have made a great porno? Logan’s Run. Michael York was a looker back in the day and Jenny “We are all of us in” Agutter was a transcendent beauty. As far as plot was concerned there’d be little difference. Same thing with wardrobe. I can see it now-“Bob Guccione’s Penthouse Productions, in association with A Bulging Silver Codpiece Joint presents “Caligula In Outer Space”. That’s a money-maker right there.

San Antonia and Miamia are giving all they got in the NBA tonight. The NHL (criteria as always is only winning teams playing t’udder ones) present LA/BOS, ANA/PHIL, TB/MTL, WASH/NASH, DAL/MIN and SJ/CHI. Tonight might be termed “Ranked Teams Overkill” in college ball. #10 Track Pants You looks to hand # 6 Kansas another L. #8 MSU tackles #18 Purdue (how did they get so high so fast?) in a…what is it called?…a Big @!*NGT contest. On top of all this, other numbered squads on the hardwood include #2 Maryland, #19 Dayton, #12 Miami, #25 Wichita, # 7 Virginia, # 9 UNC [spits on floor] # 5 Xavier (haven’t seen this team yet, if you have-do they deserve this ranking or are they beating up on punks?) # 1 Nova and 17-6, #22 ranked Kentucky. Six losses and they’re still ranked? C’MON!!!

They put all the black people in the front. All three of em!

I knew Yahoo! was going into the shitter as is, but it’s interesting to see Marissa Mayer is expediting that process.

Correct me if I wrong, but Alibaba shares are the only thing keeping them afloat?

Unsurprised

This is correct. That’s why they cancelled plans to spin off the holding company.

Duchess

BTW folks technically Bill could be VP. The 22nd Amendment only discussed folks who were elected as President and he would be elected to be VP. Also all the 12th amendment did was set age and nationality requirements not term limits.

Spur

Fine, I’ll vote for her if Bill is the VP. He’ll have her killed the first week.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Who, Paula Jones?

From Josh Marshall (a thoughtful, intelligent pundit) at TPM:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump-won-everything

“One thing to note about this result is that Donald Trump got more than a win here. He got almost the best overall result he could possibly have hoped for. Second place is taken by someone who will have a very, very hard time getting traction in more conservative GOP electorates – Kasich. The race to be the anti-Trump is totally muddled and uncertain. There’s a decent chance that Rubio will come in fifth after an embarrassing debate goof. I won’t say his campaign is over. But this is a major, major setback that I personally doubt he can recover from. The debate goof was a thing in itself. This shows he paid a big price politically. That makes it much worse in terms of how potential supporters evaluate his strengths as a candidate.

Donald Trump needs a big field to dominate with 30% to 35%. He’ll have it for a while to come. Everybody down to maybe even Christie can look at this result and say, ‘Why should I get out?’ Kasich isn’t going to be the nominee. And there’s a big anti-Trump constituency out there. So maybe it could be me? Why not? The simple truth is that Trump clobbered everyone pretty much equally. So why should anyone drop out?”

Duchess

Yeah I agree… there is too many clowns out there. Cruz/Bush/Rubio/Kasitch are all playing chicken right now. If they want to beat Trump they will have to consolidate. But the strategy now is playing for a brokered convention.

Lothar of the Hill People

I totally disagree on Kasich. Sure, he needed a strong showing to even stay in the race, but now he’s the next anointed as the anti-Trump, and that will sustain him through the southern states.

He’s going to get all sorts of national media exposure as the “rational” Republican, contrasting with Trump’s “pussy” remarks. If Jeb and/or Rubio drop out anytime soon, Kasich will be THE establishment choice. Which means lots and lots of money.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I wish Republicans were more aware that Trump is no friend of liberty. His eminent domain record is appalling.

There have been a lot of right-leaning publications (National Review and The American Conservative are two) who have really skewered Trump and rightfully so.

Spur

Why would Hispanic Americans hear a knock at the door?? If they’re Hispanic Americans then they’re legal citizens…

Imma watch some Rogie Vachon clips now.

3 Ice Stampeders were scratched tonight for being wicked hungovah at practice yesterday. Good hustle boys.

WCS

Out partying with Johnny Drunkball last night?

King Hippo

that seems like it would be standard protocol in ice footbaw (showing up drunk and/or hungover)

Spur

Legally could Bill Clinton run as Hillary’s VP?

King Hippo

I think the answer is no because he wouldn’t be eligible to run for a full term on his own (and would be next in the line of succession). The VP has to meet same qualifications as President.

WCS

This is correct.

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

Bill doesn’t run, he humps.

litre_cola

So what are calling the St. Louis ice football team? The ice Billikens?

Simmons and Leonard are one hell of a duo on the fast break.

She’s so fucking stupid I can’t even stand to look at the face.

/her face

MotherFUCK I’ve been horrible on the typos lately!

Buddy Cole's Halftime Show

I used to watch her occasionally on Fox’s 3 am acid trip show Red Eye circa 2008-10 or so, but she left for Glenn Beck Land and I haven’t really seen her since.

The WVU point guard is very follically challenged, bet he gets no tail on campus.

WCS

You referring to Devin Williams? The guy with the rec specs?

litre_cola

No the bald point guard. I respect the sideshow Bob looking centre.

Lothar of the Hill People

If his sister goes to WVU, he probably gets all the tail he wants.

Spur

Trump voter said he voted for him because Mexico keeps building cars in Mexico

litre_cola

Better than Mexico building cars in China no?

Green is looking like his old self. Fast, controlled release with less sway.

I wish Pop was my grandpa

Duchess

So Carly and Ben need to bow out after this right? I mean they are both too dense to know they are beat. Sadly Jeb still has the money to go longer.

Spur

Bow out? Not while there is money to make.

Lothar of the Hill People

Ben’s gone. His campaign is in shambles and the money is drying up.

Carly has some money behind her yet. She’ll stay in long enough to position herself as VP candidate.

I would bet a lot of money that just about whoever the GOP nominate, she’ll be the VP pick. She’s the only legit attack dog to go after Clinton.

Duchess

Honestly putting Carly on as Veep would kill me voting for that ticket. She has no support and she just flat out lies about everything. Hell her “I like to spend time with my husband line” All I could think is what which one the one you cheated on with a nother married guy or that guy whom you married? She has no credibility all she can do is trick dumb as hick ladies into thinking shes some kind of Feminist. The best quote about Carly is “Its not that you got fired by HP its that no one else would hire you afterwards” that and also under her leadership HP sold laptops to terrorists.

If there’s one brand of schadenfreude I can never get enough of, it’s rich people failing schadenfreude.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/02/09/sears-fall-costs-its-hotshot-ceo-fortune/80058216/

“No one else is feeling the pain as much as Lampert, a hotshot hedge fund manager who orchestrated a merger of Sears with Kmart in the mid-2000s to create Sears Holdings. Lampert attempted to use the retailer’s cash flow as an engine to power his hedge fund business.

Sears shares are tanking again Tuesday after the retailer warned the fourth quarter of last year was worse than expected and plans to shutter stores would be accelerated. Shares are down $1.16, or 7%, to $15.57 Tuesday creating a brutal 81% decline in the stock in five years.”

It’s almost like smashing together two companies with no idea of how to position themselves in the market was a terrible fucking idea.

King Hippo

as a liberal Demmycrat, I know exactly fuckall about business or finance…but JEEBUS even I could tell you that was going straight down the shitter.

...

Also, comparing this dude to Warren Buffet is a crock of shit because Buffet doesn’t appoint himself CEO and micromanage the fuck out of everything.

Oh, and it would not possible for me to pull my money out of a company fast enough if I heard its leader’s philosophy was inspired by Atlas Shrugged. JOHN GALT’S SOCIETY ONLY WORKS BECAUSE OF A TECHNOLOGY THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE, YOU NITWITS.

Lothar of the Hill People

Yeah, but that K-Mart “I shipped my pants” commercial was funny.

...

Fun fact: The guy who came up with that campaign used to work for my former employer and was not allowed to do anything edgy like that until Sears snared him.

They have talent working up there, but the company is so poorly structured and has no value proposition.

Chris Christie did one good thing and that was demolish Rubio in the debate.

And Fuck Fox news for calling it a tight race for number 2 When Kasich is a head by 4 points.

/ Sorry not Sorry im a Kasich supporter

...

All of the candidates after Trump probably were probably bunched really close together in the exit polls and 11% of votes counted can’t separate them yet.

Beerguyrob

THEY EXIST!

Lothar of the Hill People

Fuckity fuck. I wanted Kasich to do no better than 4th.

He must not get traction. Because as the “moderate” in the field, if he gains momentum and gets on the ticket–or worse, gets the nomination–we’re fucked. He’s the lone Republican who could beat Clinton.

King Hippo

He won’t. He offended a Koch trophy wife with his remarks about helping teh poors. No way would a Trump or a Cruz put him on the ticket.

The way the GOP allocates delegates, “red” states get way more. And it’s an “anger” election for the base.

Duchess

My Voting decision tree right now is Kasich or voting Democrat

Lothar of the Hill People

I understand people disagree with my on political issues, but what draws you to Kasich?

He’s passed more abortion restrictions than any other state. He takes credit for an economic recovery that is better attributed to policies at the national level and the programs put in motion by his (Democrat) predecessor. He’s loosened environmental protections, tanked a clean energy initiative that was creating jobs, cut income taxes for the wealthy while subjecting a host of services to a sales tax that disproportionately hits the working classes, berated cops for doing their jobs (ticketing him when he was speeding), and tried to make it so public employees couldn’t collectively bargain.

He’s no fuckin’ moderate. He just acts like one in public.

Duchess

Kasich I think would put America first. Like Sanders I dont agree with all of his policies but I also don’t think he would lead us into an unnecessary war and work on fixing things not on dismantling them.

Lothar of the Hill People

I dunno. “Least bad of the lunatics” is the best thing I can say about Kasich.

I’d rather have Romney than any of the current field.

I’d rather have McCain (the 2008 version, not the somewhat principled 2000 version) than any of the above.

Though, gun to my head, I think I’d rather have Kasich than GWB. OK, I see your point.

“Kasich: Not as bad as Bush” has a ring to it.

Duchess

Personally Id rather see them go Cruz or Trump and hopefully burn this shity idea that conservatism works down with it.

King Hippo

He seems to have common sense, and the ability to think for himself. I mean, that’s SOMETHING. In an executive capacity, actually quite a lot.

...

BUT RUBIO HAD MOMENTUM COMING OUT OF IOWA!

Christ, I’ll bet if you strip specific nouns from political commentary it would be indistinguishable from ex-jock sports commentary in its utter meaninglessness.

King Hippo

Rubio’s in 5th!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

...

I think the best part of watching election coverage is the mostly garbage commentary.

No, candidates leaving the GOP race probably doesn’t benefit Trump because he’s already cornered the market on dunderheads who are won over by loud proclamations and those voters will probably head for a candidate that doesn’t inspire terror in the party establishment. A single candidate to oppose Trump is probably bad for him.

King Hippo

yes, the bigger the clown car, the happier the (nazi) clown.

Lothar of the Hill People

I sometimes wonder if talking heads on TV put aside their reasoned, nuanced, and insightful thoughts and just blather whatever stupid shit will get them invited back.

There’s no way any (former) political operatives wouldn’t come to the same conclusion you just did. Except if they say that, it won’t be dramatic or controversial.

...

It’s nothing but brainfarts to fill time. In reality, you can’t talk about this shit for very long before treading every path, so people just make up shit.

King Hippo

YUP!

Pepperidge Farms remembahs!

Kansas has more conference titles in the last eleven years than regular season losses at home.

Eleven Big 12 titles, a home record of 200-10. That is utterly insane.

King Hippo

U*NC somehow gets Boston College TWICE, sandwiched around their two-game losing streak.

Cheaters DO win, it seems.

...

These conferences are creating such competitive imbalances when they add so many teams and can’t play any sort of round-robin.

King Hippo

Dan Dakich is almost as annoying as Vitale. See murder note below.

WCS

There’s going to be a riot in Lawrence, Kansas.. these refs are calling everything.

I don’t see it. I think KU will have a 4-9 point lead the entire game. Just close enough to get emotionally invested, only to be crushed by the eventual outcome.

The Mountaineer Way!

So far away from the ocean, yet that arena always manages SO MUCH SAND inside SO MANY VAJAYJAYS.
