Shorter George Takei: “My intent isn’t racist when I call Clarence Thomas an inauthentic black man.” [Darleen Click]
George Takei had a melt-down over Judge Thomas’ dissent the other day with a deliberate misreading of how Thomas uses the word “dignity” In a nasty, racist rant captured by a Fox affiliate in Arizona, former Star Trek actor-turned-gay rights activist George Takei lashed out at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, calling him a “clown in black face.” Takei’s explosive verbal diarrhea, which can be witnessed in full here courtesy

Turns out there’s not too long a Trek from Lib activist to racist
Who knew? .@GeorgeTakei <– More proof that being liberal and gay doesn't magically endow one with nobility, intelligence, or class. Or fashion sense. — proteinwisdom (@proteinwisdom) July 3, 2015 Of course, if you’re a “progressive,” there’s a perfectly good reason why you can misrepresent a court opinion in order to call its author “a clown in blackface” and not be deemed “racist”: BECAUSE SHUT UP, RIGHT WING HATERS! Up is

Chicago Democrats — “You’re amused? We’re gonna tax that!” [Darleen Click]
From the city that taught everything Obama knows about thuggery … Netflix service in Chicago is about to get notably more expensive. On the hunt for new revenue, Chicago’s Department of Finance is applying two new rules that would impact companies like Netflix and Spotify. One covers “electronically delivered amusements” and another covers “nonpossessory computer leases”; together they form a unique and troubling new attempt by cities to tax any

Unwarranted bleg
Hello, all. I’m not going to beat around the bush: I really want to raise the money for a Golden Tee home edition to help finish off my basement. I don’t deserve a cent from any of you, and I’m not going to pretend that any contributions you give are in direct support of pw. They’d be in direct support of an overpriced video game. That said, I still really

Oh, geez, I’m so old I remember when people would complain about a TV show being offensive … [Darleen Click]
… they were told “turn the channel!” … The latest victim of the growing controversy over the Confederate flag is the 1980s TV series “The Dukes of Hazzard.” A TV Land spokesperson confirmed Tuesday that the network has pulled reruns of the series from its schedule, which had been airing twice a day.

Oh, look, some Libertarians are having a few second thoughts about the goals of gay activists post-Obergefell [Darleen Click]
And it is not like they haven’t been warned … In the 40-some-odd years since the Libertarian Party took such positions, we’ve seen the end of sodomy laws, the end of officially sanctioned government discrimination against gay employees, both civilian and military—and with Obergefell v. Hodges, the end of government bans on same-sex marriage recognition. We’ve seen the end of just about every government policy that treats gay and lesbian

House pictures!
For you all! And because it seems really to tick off a needy, creepy, clingy, self-styled white fish who, like so many before it, can’t seem to quit me. It took us about 7 months but we finally got the floors laid in the basement, having ripped out the carpet that came with the “finished” build. The floors now match (in appearance, not in material) the main floor hardwood. To
