Thank you to Don T for his excellent post this morning that reminded me, “Oh shit, I have a post to write!”
Not just a post, mind you, a SPITE post. Because I’m still pissed about taking down Marika’s buffet spread picture.
I hope you enjoyed today’s pro-Trump banner pic. In fact, I’m going to double down and add a RFK pic for good measure:
How can you not vote for a man with nips THAT rock hard? Rock The Vote indeed…

Golf Update
Last week, I played two rounds of golf, one on Tuesday and another on July 4th. The one on Tuesday went really well as I got off to a rocky start but then improved steadily through the round and I ended up with one of my best scores at that course. I lowered my handicap to 30.3. I am tantalizingly close to getting in the 20s…
Thursday didn’t go as well. It was a weird round. I got a LOT of pars. I think it’s the round that I’ve gotten the most pars in my entire life. However, I also had a LOT of blowup holes. I had a Snowman orgy plus a 9 for good measure. They ended up cancelling each other out and it wasn’t a great scoring day.
It’s still good practice, though, for my next tournament coming up a week from now.

Copa América
Colombia takes on Panamá while Uruguay plays Brasil. I fully expect Colombia to overpower Panamá. It’s halftime as this post gets published and I bet you it’s 2-0 already.
Uruguay-Brasil is going to be a barn burner. It’s a shame it’s not a semifinal or a final. It would kinda suck if they went to penalties as I find that a sorta unjust way to settle things but you’ve got to practice penalties too.
Just look at France. Those penalties they took were exquisite. Scored all five and the majority were unstoppable. Gotta give them credit for that.

Y’all know that Biden doubling down on staying in the race is just handing the election to Trump, right? Hell, I think having RFK run as a Democrat is their only hope but I haven’t noticed any pigs flying around my neighborhood. Can y’all just run Gavin Newsom and get him the fuck out of California? We would appreciate it.
I tell you what, I may just have to vote for RFK Jr.’s brain worm and hard nips. That’s a winning ticket right there! You have to admit that he is in way better shape than Biden and Trump combined!
For as much as I find Elon annoying, I think he should get into the politics game. He can buy media coverage and set up a legitimate third party. Another tantalizing idea is to have Bezos run and Lauren Sanchez become First Slut.

And then Bezos dies of a mysterious STD and she becomes Slut In Chief. That would be great!

One last thing:
“I don’t wanna waste ya’lls time…”
/proceeds to spend three and half minutes explaining a situation that only tangentially applies to the actual “emergency”
Balls, your hate hustle here is inspiring. I’m gonna take some grocery shopping here in a bit. See if any old folks wanna clash carts in the mean isles.
Those carts would bounce back about 30 feet off those.
That’s outstanding!
…So who won the fight?
Stevenson appears to be quite ahead in the final round
That guy is insanely talented and is going to dance his way right out of being booked for any big money fights. Just not interesting to watch someone try to avoid getting hit for 12 rounds.
At least they judges managed to get the decision right, because holy shit did the guy in the previous fight get robbed.
He went to the Floyd Mayweather school of boxing?
Good on Bezos’ bangmaid for graduating from the Mark Davis Tonight’s Girlfriend Academy and into the supervillain’s eye-candy role.
Bravo to the keepers. No one else in this game.
¡PALO!
Found a funny:
European sports rivalries just hit different. In America we will hate a rival because they beat us in the playoffs a couple times.
In Europe they are like “yes we hate that team, because in 1456 they disposed our king and did a light genocide against us. Also they dive a lot.”
*dials WCS*
I’d like to report a robbery! Uruguay just straight up robbed Brazil! Do something!
Just like the eleventy billion firework calls.
Versus how many gun shot calls?
65-35
Hostage situation earlier I that missed. Also, some drunk fool fell off a boat in the Allegheny River and had to be rescued from a nearby sandbar.
I don’t know if I’ve ever told you how much I admire your job and what you’re doing but goddammit man.
You keep doing that thing!
Just saw this now. Thanks, man.
Senorita Weaselo expected to go upstairs and grab leftover ham sui gok. (Basically glutinous rice balls with meat inside, deep fried.)
She came back down with the bottom portion of watermelon, which is about the farthest thing from it.
I mean, both are edible at least…? Trying to help here…
This is why you’re the person that answers 911
Which is precisely why yinz all should be terrified.
Both of these guy should have had 4-5 points deducted by now. Dirtiest fight I’ve ever seen, not including one where a certain someone bit someone’s ear off.
Streetball rules: No blood, no foul.
Watch this, everyone:
You know there’s a specific section in Project 2025 to ban all p(opc)ornography, right?
/The popcorn bit is so we don’t get flagged!
Subtle.
They could probably ban the production of it and sale in the United States like was done with alcohol during Prohibition.
However, that got repealed, so…
There always seems to be a hush that comes over the crowd when Brazil has a free kick within distance of the goal. Roberto Carlos was the one that sealed the deal for me.

I think thats all the Brazil fans bending over to look at themselves real close in their mirror tabletops, for some reason.
Mexican fighter is losing badly, and so far has hit the referee in the face and just picked up the other fighter as though he were going to bodyslam him.
This is definitely different.
Boxing or wrestling
It’s supposed to be boxing, but the way things are going, (it’s getting worse, btw), your question is a fair one.
Weather permitting I’m going to climb Mt. Moosilauke in New Hampshire tomorrow. Was planning on climbing via the Beaver Brook Trail, as it’s described as the toughest trail on the mountain, and indeed the Northeast in general. I’m fine with that, but the problem is you have to go down the same way you came up, and it looks like this:
At 55, I have a much greater sense of my mortality than I used to. I may have to use on of the easier trails, and save this one for when I’m not soloing, and can spot another car at the bottom of one of the easier trails.
You can also do like me and forget hiking and get your workouts in at a safe place where 911/WCS is readily available.
I like climbing mountains. But I do need to recognize that I’m at an age where it’s probably no longer the best idea to take unnecessary risks.
Aka help I’ve fallen and can’t get up
That’s LifeAlert.
Leave me out of this bullshit.
I’m just gonna call and say ‘hi’
Scrambling?
Here’s a UCONN grad doing good works in the community. Kudos.

I read up on that 2025 Project. It started a long time ago. Reagan was the first one to implement part of their plan. Apparently, he put in place roughly 50% of the policy recommendations of Project 1981.
Trump put in 60% of Project 2017.
There’s nothing new under the sun.
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but things are a lot worse for a lot of people, not to mention the environment, since Reagan got in.
Things were VERY shitty when Carter was President. I’m sorry, but we are better off than when Reagan took over.
It doesn’t matter, though, because we’ve had both Republican and Democrat presidents since then. They can all share the blame for today’s problems.
Last I checked the Democrats didn’t appoint judges who OT’d Roe, gutted the Civil Rights Act, and undid the Chevron deference, and they’re not the ones who see 20 kids get shot to pieces and respond, “but mah guns rights!” while doing nothing except let the Brady Act expire.
So yes, if you don’t give a shit about women’s right, civil rights, gun safety, clean air and water, it’s been much better since Reagan took over.
To be fair, Carter did set the bar low. Once Reagan got both the mandate and the likeable personality, that did allow for a significant realignment to the right.
Both sides have their wish list of everything they want done. Most presidents do most of them to keep them happy enough to donate money to them.
Trump is so needy for adulation that he’s a blank check. If Project 2025 mentioned retroceding West Virginia back to Virginia, you know Trump would make it happen.
Yup. That’s exactly it
God he’s such a dick.
Wow, a Mexican fighter who blocks every punch with his face and still keeps coming?
There’s something you never see.
(boxing on ESPN. Very entertaining fight, if you’re into that sort of thing)
The Rocky Balboa School of Boxing originated in Mexico, ppl forget that.
A good compromise is one in which all parties feel like they gave too much.
You pour out as much punishment you feel rights the imbalance.
I was told that a good compromise results in each side being pissed off. Yeah, I’ve been in a few collective bargaining discussions.
I just read that in a boo so I know I haven’t won unless only the other side feels bad.
But we ain’t here to fight….
It’s actually quite easy to not vote for RFK.
The problem is that it is way too easy to not vote for Biden.
Because you’re not voting for Biden anymore.
You’re voting for the Vice President because there is no way he makes it four more years and I’m sure as fuck not voting for Kamala.
(flashback to the 1st Democratic Debate)
Harris: “…and that little girl on that bus, Joe, was me!”
Media: [Spends several media cycles saying how awesome that moment was]
Me: “She didn’t do a damn thing!
I’d vote for Trump before I’d vote for RFK.
I’m down a James Bond rabbit hole tonight. Here’s the description of his favorite cocktail from the first novel:
Casino Royale, Chapter 7: Rouge et Noir[55]
Apparently it’s hard to replicate this recipe because Kina Lillet doesn’t really exist any more. There’s Lillet Blanc, which replaced it, but supposedly has much less quinine than the Kina did.
A lot of people think Cocchi Americano is a pretty good substitute
The books are great. I’ve read every single one. I prefer some to the movies.
A man a plan Panama gets blow out.
No hay Quinto Malo
I was off by one goal.
Or three. I think I lost count.
God Bless Bezos. He could make significant change in the world but he chose to fuck that world and someone else that was really good at fucking.
Elon Musk would be a perfect President Blofeld.
Jeff Bezos would be a perfect President Goldfinger.
Donald Trump would be a perfect President Skroob, except for the fact that Skroob’s actions were entirely for his people’s benefit and not his own.
Not voting for Trump. Not voting for Bob-Boy.
Unless Biden drops out, I’m just going to write in swear words on my ballot.
Panama is doing as well it did when Noriega tried ride out H-Dub’s invasion in 1989.
That leaves our fine maple leafed colleagues to the north as the only likeable bunch left.
Dang, Balls! This was awesome!
