Seriously, I can’t be the only one miffed, nay, irked, that the Stanley Cup Final goes in June at this point. In what world is there ice in fucking June? Other than, you know, the Southern Hemisphere since it’s winter there. (For what it’s worth, I also have beefs with MLB because the World Series, you know, October baseball, ends in November, and with the NCAA because March Madness ends in April.)
Anyway, tonight’s Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final Ice Super Bowl between the Preds and Pens. Sorry, WCS, but neutral rooting interests probably have to root for the Ice Titans, and non-neutral rooting interests (read: I) probably have to do the same (read: Sidney Crosby et al can go fuck themselves with a rusty piece of rebar. Or a piece for each of them. I’m less picky about that part.) Though like Rob I’ll also take Pens in 6. Sorry neutrals, we can’t have nice things, see this whole year. It will be more fun to watch than the inevitable slog that led up to Cavs-Warriors and to be honest I dooooon’t caaaaaare at this point.

Tiger Woods was arrested on a DUI charge early Monday morning near his home in Jupiter, FL. Woods was later released on his own recognizance.

After his retirement from NPR last month and Blax’s thoughts on his legacy, Frank Deford passed away yesterday at the age of 78.
As you may know, it’s Memorial Day, the day where we accidentally thank people for their service (not that we shouldn’t, and for all those who served, I would like to extend that thanks), even though Memorial Day is to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and died in the service of their country. And fortunately those we get to thank in person are still with us.
It’s also the unofficial start of summer, so if you think we ain’t gon grill, oh we gon grill, bullee dat. If we haven’t all been grilling before then, of course. I’m admittedly not the world’s greatest chef, my forte (if you could say I have one) is sauces and seasonings. And mixing as many sodas as I can with a Coke Freestyle machine in one cup as long as it tastes decent. (It’s a combination of Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb, and Mello Yello. And cherry variants.) We also gon drank, but it’s a day that ends in Y, so no change there!
It’s also (also) the unofficial quarter-pole…
…I said, unofficial quarter-pole of the MLB season, so let’s see how some wiseass prognosticator’s doing! Let’s see, Boston’s red-hot (boooo…) but the Yanks are in first place (yaaaa… ow, who throws a spork?) The Twinkies are surprisingly good, and the Royals’ rotation was okay but the offense couldn’t hit a lick for long enough that I still look okay for my third-place pick! And my coin flip picking the Astros over the Rangers looks pretty good too! The NL East looks about right except the Mets are worse than I expected (my opinion?). The Central, look at the Beers putting up a fight against the Small Bears thanks in large part to Eric Thames. And the NL West? Who had the Colorado Rockies with the best record in the National League, because I sure as hell didn’t! And Madison Bumgarner getting hurt from a dirtbike accident I couldn’t have predicted to means there goes my wild-card. I guess I’ll be back to look in at the All-Star break.
So since it’s Memorial Day, our topic of the night is war movies. Because they’ve probably been on the History Channel and AMC all weekend. I went and surveyed the clubhouse about their favorite war movies, and here’s what I got!
Balls: Shaving Ryan’s Privates (I would probably not look that one up at work.)
Low Commander: The trailer for Pearl Harbor (and that’s how we got on the Bill Parcells watch list!)
Blax: Fog of War
Rikki: Letters from Iwo Jima (even if not his favorite, because of how good it is)
BFC: The Guns of Navarone
Don_T: Catch-22 (“Yeah the novel’s unbeatable BUT ALAN ARKIN JESUS CHRIST WHY ISN’T THERE A NOBEL PRIZE FOR CASTING”)
tWBS: Platoon (yes, even if it is clichéd)
BeerguyRob: The first half of Full Metal Jacket and all of The Dirty Dozen
Maestro: Apocalypse Now
Yeah Right: A Bridge Too Far (“Accept no substitutes.”)
The ones of these that I’ve seen I entirely agree with. (No, I have not seen Shaving Ryan’s Privates.)
Except for Pearl Harbor of course.
But my personal favorite war movie has a who’s who of stars, whether present (at the time) or future. And Don Rickles (may he rest in peace). That would be Kelly’s Heroes, even if you could argue it’s a heist movie disguised as a WWII movie considering it’s about a generally disillusioned platoon going off to steal a metric shit-ton of gold (yes, the movie did come out during Vietnam, how’d you guess). Clint Eastwood may play the title character Pvt. Kelly, a former lieutenant who was scapegoated and demoted for a failed mission, but it’s Donald Sutherland who makes the movie as tank commander Oddball.
So that’s our conversation piece in addition to the ice footy. What’s your favorite war movie?
What’s on tonight?
NHL:
Stanley Cup Final Game 1: NSH at PIT, 8E, NBC

COLTON SISSONS ME TIMBERS!!!
It is like 1 week into no new TV and I am already just spending hours watching Craig Ferguson interviews on youtube. It is better than many of the trope ridden finales I guess so a step up.
Happens to the best of us.
“Today we remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in serving. Thank you, God bless your families & God bless the USA! ,” Trump wrote Monday in a series of tweets marking the solemn holiday.
*Unless you died in a POW camp.
I mean, he didn’t call them heroes either.
Having already responded on Twitter by calling McCain a “dummy,” Trump upped the ante in Iowa by disparaging McCain’s — and every POW’s — military service.
“He’s a war hero because he was captured,” Trump said. “I like people that weren’t captured.”
The online response (for what it’s worth) was immediate and harsh. Many pointed to the fact that Trump had received deferments that let him avoid service in Vietnam. In an ensuing press conference, Trump blamed a bone spur, among other things. A subsequent written statement offered that Trump has “great respect for all those who serve in our military including those that weren’t captured and are also heroes.” (And ends with: “Note, Mr. Trump left to a long lasting standing ovation, which will be by far the biggest ovation of the weekend, and much congratulatory praise.”)
And McCain will still carry Trump’s dirty diaper until the day the ol’ Maverick rage-strokes himself into incapacitation.
See last sentence.
i know, I just wanted to write out a situation where John McCain is never a senator again.
I am with you on that. Of course the next one Arizona elects could easily be worse.
My spidey sense says the Dems go all in on Arizona, win that seat, and pat themselves on the back while losing ND, IN, MO, and WV.
I love your optimism. I REALLY hope you are right.
This is the state the elected Jan Fucking Brewer, so I am of the mind that it goes to the stupidest candidate.
Impossible. Outside of poor ass Tucson and Lib-ass Flagstaff, the best the Dems can land is a house seat in a gerrymandered hand-out district whose rep (Sienema) is a career ‘AZ Liberal’ (meaning, having never actually legislated anything and just blames it on not having a majority in the state house) who still voted with Ryan to shut down the government.
They say purple districts are gone but, looking at the shitheads the Dems pass as acceptable in maricopa county, I’d say blue districts are about dead.
Didn’t stop him from jerking off W after that punk spent nam in the TX Natl Guard/Country Club.
Seriously though, McCain is a fucking piece garbage even without standing up for himself.

Nice to see Bills fans taking their summer workout regimen seriously.
I took my daughter for a walk through a park with baseball diamonds earlier today. Man, baseball moms who look incredible in sun dresses was not a thing when I was a kid. Kids have it so easy these days. SMH
I seem to recall the moms from back in the day were the kind you would NAWT want in a sundress, much less outside. Things have improved.
Did you live in El Paso?
Agreed. Moms today definitely take care of themselves. It’s like they learned that you can’t live off of chicken strips and fries and pizza all the time and live past 50
Not in El Paso, unless you consider insulation taking care of yourself.
Don’t forget, they were “old” back then.
Canadian whiskey is just the worst, why did I think it would be different this time?
Per the war movie convo, Lady BFC and I were discussing if we should watch one and if there were any that weren’t too emotionally heavy. “Thank you for your sacrifice, but please don’t ruin my night.”
So how’s about it? Other than Shaving Ryan’s Privates, what’s a good one to watch without ruining any chance of getting some tonight?

HOT TAKE: all baseball fighting is stupid and they should just do away with it and suspend pitchers that intentionally throw at batters.
This is a good and correct take. The “unwritten rules” of virtually all sports, but ESPECIALLY baseball, are, without fail, stupid as fuck.
MORE BASEBALL FIGHTING FOR OUR AMUSEMENT!
Alternate solution: you submit your intent to fight, at bat resumes, and then after the game a boxing ring is erected to resolve the issues in 3 10 minute rounds.
WITH BATS!
COULD HAVE SLAP FIGHTS TOO. MAYBE JUST SECOND BASE PERSONS.
Boxing doesn’t create lasting memories.
Disagree. Just leave it be.

Shit, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea
Is now.
Now that the post-election shock is over, I’ve returned to wading in the world of various political podcasts. Some are good, some are not — such is the #Content Age. That said, it amazes me that every single ‘cast (right now I’m listening to Podesta on Politico) says that the democrats need to get back to engaging voters who have felt left behind by the system and empowering new candidates who want to get involved now rather than just the old party insiders.
All while the DNC refuses to do exactly that.
You lost me at “Now that the post-election shock is over”.
/#notevenremotelyanAmerican
There is no easy solution to the electorate going fascist. That is a declaration of war, and every sign I see indicates the party has woken up to that fact.
You don’t see even Senator Manchin sucking up to Trump, do you?
The time to dig trenches and fight back hard is now, consistent with our values. It is NOT telling women, minorities, and gay people to shut up and take a back seat to white male concerns again (like all of recorded history). It is about crafting an inclusive message that stands up to fascism and calls out the blatant lies and bill of goods Trump sold the working class to give himself and his rich buddies a giant tax cut while they all die in a gutter.
The gettable ones will understand and re-join the coalition. The ones whose ‘economic anxiety’ is mollified as long as black and brown folk suffer worse won’t, and they can get fucked.
It’s really pretty simple.
And the 2020 nominee will have no connection to either the Clinton nor Sanders campaign. Fruit of the poisonous trees. Time to move forward. Big tent.
It’s also putting the brakes on Russia conspiracy theories which are neither a solution for the current situation nor a viable ideology going forward.
Conflicted on that. Midterms need to be run on general corruption and healthcare, for sure. And can’t let theories run too far ahead of facts (hard to corral with blogs, etc.).
That said…this shit needs to hit the sunshine. I think there’s clear obstruction of justice, and possible treason. The exposure to date already likely prevented similar operations from succeeding in Europe. It’s at least halted the progress of Putin’s evil ascent (at least outside the Eastern bloc), and he is absolutely a dangerous man who only understands power, and having his hand smacked with a ruler (so to speak). Obama tried to engage him positively, it didn’t work.
Plus, it has had the benefit of reducing American Fuhrer’s political capital, and grinding the legislative process to a halt. Very likely nothing of consequence passes before the midterms, which is amazeballs. Because Trump can’t keep his big, dumbass mouth shut.
Democrats will not run on single payer or even adding a public option to Obamacare. Case in point, they gave very little to Quist in Montana and are all in on Ossoff who is most certainly a centrist.
Blaming Russia for everything has been the Democrats’ go-to move because their identity politics driven thinking won’t allow them to do the same with Muslims.
Because they think Ossoff can win (and keep winning, given education demographics), Quist could only get close. Much tougher seat (R +11).
Russia IS a bad actor here. They aren’t being blamed for anything more than they did.
It’s a catch-22. They won’t spend on Quist so he won’t win and then say he can’t win.
The issue here isn’t how winnable a seat is, it’s that Quist went on a stage with Bernie and they hate that. Ossoff will be a loyal centrist party man and that’s why they’re dumping so much money in that race.
I kinda hope they lose.
Also, like in the KS-4 election, they asked the national party to stay out b/c nationalizing would hurt. There’s only so much you can do in the 115th best GOP-held district for HillyBob (or KS-4 was like 160th).
And if Bernie is the headliner, you want an “outside” message. they waited to send in DNC resources until the very end, which was strategic.
There are very few “good centrist” voters anymore. Everybody Dem votes almost exactly the same now, at least with American Fuhrer in office. And every vote is needed. The left can’t be at war with itself, that is suicide.
I love that Democrats made that argument as they’re actually admitting their party and brand is pure shit but still think you should vote for it anyway,
That’s politics 101, when you are in a 30/70 district, you localize the election and be folksy. That’s just numerical reality. How do you think Heidi Heitkamp got elected Senator?
Treason requires the nation to be at war. As the US isn’t in a declared war, treason is off the table.
(Not to be “THAT GUY” but I heard it on the NPR Politics podcast and felt it was worth passing along.)
oh, they’d do “war on terror” if they had to. In any event, it would be a violation of XYZ espionage statutes or a various number of other things. Fundamentally, treasonous, whether technically or not. Nobody’s trying to execute the fat fuck. Just possibly kick his cabal out of office (and even I’m not quite there yet).
Fair.
I don’t know about that. Fox News and the Republicans have shown that constant/insistent/unrelenting pressure on a single issue tends to produce positive dividends.
/email servers, Benghazi comes to mind
//do the Dems “want” to go down that road?
///if it means an electoral victory in 2018/20? yeah, sure
The people in line to lose healthcare don’t give two fucks about the pet bullshit of well-off liberals who balk and scold people who propose single payer.
The Democrats will, of course, make it all about Trump because they’re an empty husk of a party with no ideas and I’ll laugh when they come up one seat of a majority.
The very real issue, and it’s something that needs polling and a long-term roll-out strategy – is whether you go “Medicare for All” now (don’t say “single payer” it makes people go OMG!!! Socialism!!!! even if it’s the same fucking thing, too easy to scaremonger) or if it needs to be phased. Do you muddy up the argument by saying that, as opposed to the cut and dry, simple “Don’t let the GOP and Trump take away your healthcare (that Obama and the Democrats fought to secure for you).”
Now that people see what will happen if it’s taken away, all of a sudden they like they Obamacare.
Might make more sense, once Dems have the Congress, to say, now if you want to discuss options that might add more cost certainty…
Kevin Drum talks about this as three stages: (1) Lower Medicare eligibility age to 50, which will vastly stabilize the private market; then (2) open Medicare for everyone; then (3) offer single payer as an option.
That way, you don’t change TOO rapidly and scare people off, and if one step doesn’t prove feasible, you don’t lose it all (like on Let’s Make a Deal).
Oof! Shit-tons of folks that were going to lose their health care under Trump voted for him anyway because sticking it to for’ner’s and MAGA were more important to them.
They never believed they’d lose their healthcare. They believed “Obamacare” would go away which just meant everything they didn’t like about it.
Methinks what Scotchy’s saying – and he’s right – is that peeps ain’t exactly rational actors. Which was always the flaw in Bernie’s argument and why the GOP would have eaten him alive in the general.
Bernie’s support wasn’t merely rational, it was emotional. There’s a reason some of those Bernie people went to Trump as their second choice: spiritually they both represented a fuck you to the existing order albeit in very different ways.
That reminds me, I need to get my Ron Paul Revolution shirt out of the wash before the Mrs puts it in the dryer, contributing to MOAR HOALES in the fabrics!
you were trying to get laid with that, weren’t ya??
/strippers tended to be Ron Paul “Love Revolution” gals ,, ppl forget that
yes, but he never faced the onslaught of the right-wing noise machine. They cheered him on, because he was hurting HillyBob. And she fought him one-handed because she was running out the clock, knew his temperament, and that she would need his support later. Running a “purity” campaign doesn’t usually react well to that.
Which is why populism ALWAYS ends up in brownshirt thuggery land, because that element wins out. Plays dirtier, pulls harder at the guts of the “bomb throwers” and fears always win when you create an atmosphere charged like that.
So, tell me if this sounds far-fetched:
The Dems do what they do best and DON’T produce a viable candidate in 2020. Trump wins another term. Come 2024, Trump decides he wants to be President for life and gets legislation passed so that presidential term- limits are erased.
The 2024 election is then Trump vs. Obama.
Who ya got?
I think Obama would still need GWB to run and split the vote with trump
What is your avatar?
It’s far-fetched. I don’t even think Republicans would want to deal with his shit for that long.
It’s less far-fetched for American Fuhrer to suspend elections completely (fascist soft coup) than to successfully amend the Constitution.
The Democrats have a very specific vision of their party going forward and it’s best summed by the Chuck Schumer quote “for every working class voter we lose in the middle of Pennsylvania, we’ll pick up two Republicans in the suburbs.” They want to be a centrist party, not a left wing one and their open contempt for Bernie Sanders is the best example of their attitude. A centrist party has no interest in making significant changes to society and, frankly, that shouldn’t be an acceptable platform.
Big tent party, like it’s always been. Center to Elizabeth Warren left.
The voters he is talking about losing are NOT left, they are essentially the voters in the UK leaving Labour for UKIP (even with Jeremy Corbyn in charge).
That is how the party survives, because those suburban voters have no home in the modern GOP. And they are already moderate (not conservative) on economic issues, and usually drift left over time.
The Dems aren’t going right, they just aren’t going left AS FAST as the GOP is going radically to the right.
On one hand, I know I should “be a better hockey fan” and pay attention to the finals.

“The Last Detail”. Its not a war movie per say. Its basically about two 1st classes on shore duty that get stuck taking an utter shithead to Portsmouth brig. Randy Quad looks like he just turned 18 in the film, Jack Nicholson is brilliant, and Otis Young is perfect.
It gets the lingo right. It gets the boredom right. It gets the bullshit right.
All the nonsense that isn’t shown in the typical military movie or commercial.
The best scene, Jack and Otis’ characters start warning up to Quad’s because they realize this dumbass has never gotten a chance to actually live his life before he fucked it up. So they take him to a bar. The bartender refuses to serve them because Quad is obviously underage and makes a snide comment about having to serve a black.
Jack’s character offers a nuanced response when sad bartender threatens to call shore patrol and have them arrested.
