We have not been outed yet as Russian AgitProp ...


Posted On: Saturday - December 3rd 2016 6:56PM MST
In Topics:   Elections '16 - '26  The Russians

... and I'm kinda pissed about it. Of course, I just got this blog going 4 days back, so I could have in no way influenced the successful election of Donald Trump.

I tried to reach the Russian high command about a deal, but I haven't heard much good news yet. The dude asset I had arranged to meet at the NYC B-local 429th St. subway stop did not arrive with my case of vodka and six-pack of caffeinated borscht by the lower-level condom machine as we had arranged on MySpace, so I had to skeedaddle prontomundo to lose my tail. At least I think it was a CIA tail dressed as a stinky homeless guy. We probably just didn't have our watches synched up correctly, yeah, that's it, I think.

But seriously, being accused of working for the Russians just because you advocate for certain (conservative and correct, I might add) politics is something I would be pretty proud of. It reminds me of when the blogger who was the real first guy to break the ATF/Holder Justice Dept. gunwalker deal, Mike Vanderbough, got mentioned by Bill Clinton. That's definitely something to brag about.

Post 3 in the form of a an allegory


Posted On: Saturday - December 3rd 2016 6:27PM MST
In Topics:   Commies

I just thought a story would be funnier than what I originally wrote.

I was on the horn with the treasurer of our local communist party chapter yesterday, and he seemed all bent out of shape about the fact that I was behind on dues - just a matter of months is all, maybe 30 - 36 months. He's going on about "show me the money" and so on, and I'm all "Yo, cut a comrade some slack, OK, from each according to his ablity, and to each according to his needs, man".

Man, this hardass didn't want to hear any of this. I mean come on, I told him about the fact that I was hard up lately due to all the money for the (8-day, 7-night) cruise up the Huang He in Red (note Red, right, not the other colored one) China on the tour of Chairman Mao's and the Gang of Four's grave sites, and drinking establishments. It wasn't cheap, lemme tell ya. There was the other communist-culture enriching trip to Leningrad, which we couldn't find for the life of us on the maps, once we got to Russia. Apparently, it's been changed, and "where was the memo, Comrade?", I berated him.

Anyway, to explain further, I was all "dude, you've got to break some eggs to make an omelot." to which he replied, vehemenently, I might add, "that's why we need your damn dues money, bitch, we bought 50 dozen eggs to make omelots with, along with 5 gallons of Aunt Babushka syrup, for the Lenin/Trotsky memorial breakfast. I didn't notice you redistributing any of the 4 sausage omelots you downed, comrade!"

I apologized eventually as I don't want to be purged (though I eventually purged my omelets), and promised I would be a paid-up card-carrying member of the party by the end of the current 5-year plan, or at least the next one.

How I Ended up in a Psych Ward on Election Night


Posted On: Saturday - December 3rd 2016 6:00PM MST
In Topics:   Lefty MegaStupidity  Websites  Humor

Not me, this is another dude. It is downright hilarious, but unbelievably-unintentionally so.

TRIGGER WARNING: This article is in the Huffington Post, which I would not ordinarily read nor link to. If I ever do again, you have my permission right now to put me in the psych ward (but not the same room as this f__king guy, please!). I got this link off another guy's site, and he was right that it was worth it.

BTW, some of the commenters are smart, say 5-8 % of 'em. That surprised me, as the the HuffPo censors must have been unavailable (maybe having rotated too many into the psych ward?)

Since I'm a youtube emedding fool, here's just 3-4 seconds of George Costanza 5:34 - 5:38, in case the time interval doesn't take on your browser:

Blast from the past / funny comments


Posted On: Friday - December 2nd 2016 6:31PM MST
In Topics:   Music

While not the kind of consistent, erudite, and funny comments that can be read at zerohedge, youtube often has some funny stuff. Here's a great song from the '70's you won't hear much elsewhere along with a comment at which I LLOL'd (Literally Laughed Out Loud):

Riff Raff2 weeks ago

Great, all this time in my mind's eye I thought some hot foxy southern chick from the Ozarks was singing this song. Now I'm almost questioning my sexuality as if I don't have enough crap to deal with. Thanks for nothing Black Oak Arkansas!

Ha, ha, I also always had thought it was a chick singing, but, hey what does Black Oak Arkansas got to do with it (though I could see the confusion).

I really like this verse that was not in the single version (i.e. played on the radio at the time):

Every day, in your indigo eyes
I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise
Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine
You'd take the world but you won't take the time

Even super-glue ain't working anymore


Posted On: Friday - December 2nd 2016 9:17AM MST
In Topics:   Cheap China-made Crap  Curmudgeonry

The 5-year old packs of small super-glue tubes got all solidified, so you can't really stock up on this stuff, I've learned. Now, even stuff from this 1-year old 3-pack I bought is crap. I tried to glue a reflector back on my car, and the stuff came out really thin, and sticks to my fingers well enough, but, unfortunately, not the car.

Along with the peak stupidity curve comes a same shape curve of the inverse of product quality, call it craptidude, but only set back about 30 years or so. You can't buy much that you know is quality anymore, or at least, it's a lot of trouble to find it. For some reason this makes me think of the movie Idiocracy. I would like to link the reader to the entire movie (made by Mike Judge, of B/B and KOH fame (Beavis/Butthead, King of the Hill)), as I know one used to be able to download the entire thing, but I can't find the whole thing now. It's not only amazingly prescient, but also funny as hell.

OK, here's a sample. The scene picks up where our protagonist starts to first realize he has been accidently transported 500 years into the future, where, it turns out, he is at that point the smartest guy in the world. In the scene here, he is talking to his doctor:

BLOW UP YOUR TV (and eat a lot of peaches)


Posted On: Friday - December 2nd 2016 5:54AM MST
In Topics:   Music  TV, aka Gov't Media

I was reading this post on VDare.com about Government Media (aka Legacy, Lamestream, etc.) and the new "fake news" thing, mostly put out by the Government Media itself. I always like to link to VDare, and this article is kind of worrisome as one can see the Orwell's 1984 Newspeak world coming at us with the speed a Shanghai Airport maglev train.

However, that's really not what I want to write about in this post. Mr. Kirkpatrick, the writer of the article, mentioned a Mr. Chip and Mrs. Joanna Gaines of a reality TV show, whose church (on the show, and I guess in some kind of reality) doesn't believe in homarriage (homosexual marriage). What real church does? (OK, take the Unitarians, please!) Now, Mr. Kirkpatrick is no spring chicken - I know this just from all of the history he knows well and his bio on the VDare website. He has heard of the Gaines couple, but not I. No offense at all to the VDare writer, but: How come I had no idea who the Gaines' are? How come I don't care who the Gaines' are? Why should I waste my time on this earth watching TV in order to know this?

The problems with the control of the narrative by Gov't Media that James Kirkpatrick wrote about there would not exist if people would TURN! OFF! THE! IDIOT! BOX!

(heh,the first time I saw each word separated by punctuation like that was in a good blog by a girl name Rachael, I think, but I can't remember the name of it. She may have THIS. KIND. OF. WRITING. trademarked - she used it a lot. However, my novel idea is to use EXCLAMATION! POINTS!, so DON'T! SUE! ME!)

I just watched John Prine last night, and this one fits in very well with my post:

On this whole bathroom thing


Posted On: Thursday - December 1st 2016 7:23PM MST
In Topics:   Genderbenders

In keeping with my goal, mentioned in the previous post, of sticking to the supposed subject of this blog, I will just tell a quick story related to this new choice-of-bathrooms thing.

At some tables at the outdoor part of the bar/grill, I was waiting for friends so couldn't help from hearing the two couples eating together at the next table, oh, and drinking a bunch too. They were talking about some law in North Carolina, which was either fighting this bathroom stupidity or adding to it - I can't remember. At least one of the women was pro relieve-yourself-wherever-you-identify, and the husbands were arguing it was ridiculous. It was all a pretty friendly discussion, and I guess entirely theoretical till I came by.

I had gotten some change out of the car, walking back brought me by their table. I was all "Hey, I heard what y'all were saying a minute ago. I'm just letting you know that I'm a woman" (I'm not, by any means.) "I'm gonna go take a piss now." They all laughed, but I kinda wish I'd thought of this last part: "Any one want to come with me? We always go in pairs, right?"

Man, it used to be so easy. I've got enough decisions to make; which bathroom to walk into shouldn't be another one. Well, one time I was drunk enough to have already peed in the women's restroom in the Red Onion restaurant somewhere in Los Angeles, California a long time back. I saw how nice and tidy the place was and I was wondering why they had pulled out all the urinals. That's all it took to figure it out. (Oh, once in a while the W will flip to an M, if it's only got one nail - that can be a problem ....)

About the coming decline / zerohedge.com


Posted On: Thursday - December 1st 2016 3:23PM MST
In Topics:   General Stupidity  Websites

After writing 4 posts here over 3 days (believe me, the pace will accelerate, as I have tons of posts in my head), I realized that, so far, none of the posts talk about the idea of this blog, as advertised in the URL, banner, and in the article "What is Peek Stoopiditee?" to the left.

What I need to mention now is zerohedge.com, the first link I have on the blogroll. That site is still half financial big-picture stuff and about half politics, both US and international. It used to be more like 80% financial, as I recall the site 5 years back.

It's not like either my political leanings (libertarian/conservative) or financial dealings (conservative) were not already set in stone when I first viewed zerohedge in the summer of '11. The website, and moreso, its commenters, just present great big-picture explanations about debt, money, and so forth that really sink in after years of reading. There's no way to explain any of the big concepts in one blog post, and I think economics is just hard to wrap one's mind around. It's not hard in the same way as math, science, and engineering, in fact, one has to sift through much BS from the "experts" in the field before getting an understanding the real concepts of money.

I bring this web site up here to expand on what I wrote here as I believe the coming inevitable world-wide financial crash to come will be the most likely cause of crash in stupidity levels. By the last part, I don't mean that there couldn't be (and there already is, in a small way) a general awakening to the ridiculous PC and other nonsense that causes the great peak in stupidity to pass, but I think the financial crash is imminent and will happen first.

There are enough mega-stupid ideas put forth each day in this country to keep 100 bloggers like me in business. I will try to steer my posts, or at least 1 or 2 per day, toward the ridicule of said ideas.

C'mon guys, it's all Cheerios nowadays!


Posted On: Thursday - December 1st 2016 8:32AM MST
In Topics:   Elections '16 - '26

I just called up a reasonably nice lady at Kellogg' Consumer Affairs Department at 800-962-1413 (thanks, Amren commenter for the number).

I had a nice little rant talk with the lady, bringing up the issue of the Kelloggs company pulling all ads off of Brietbart.com. After she said this was not political, blah, blah, I asked her what other advertising they had pulled off of other sites for various reasons. She didn't know. There's no arguing with people in these types of positions anyway, as it's not really their job, or in their scripts on their computer screens.

I had just called to get a word in, is all. After I told her that we would buy no more Cheese-its or Special K, and switch to Cheerios, she kept up the BS a bit too long, so I had to repeat myself about the Cheerios a number of times to get her to hang up first. Ha!

(I also ran the numbers for her - worst case scenario, losing $20/week or so from each Breitbart reading junk-food eater times, what 45 million viewers of the site times 52 weeks in a year - multiplies out to some serious mullah. Yes, I know this is a rectal-extraction-based order-of-magnitude highball estimate.)

Full Disclosure: All this packaged crap is slowly killing us - so it's not like the family eats much of this stuff anyway. It's hard to boycott people when you never participate to begin with - one of the problems with being a minimalist.

Fuller Disclosure: Breitbart is pretty damn unreadable with my browswers anyway - all kinds of crap pops up and keeps moving the page around while I'm trying to read the damn article itself. It's almost worthless, but nothing against the content. In fact, come to think of it, maybe it's the Kelloggs ads to begin with that are dicking up the site.

I'm confused at this point, so I may just install Adblock while I'm having a snack of Cheerios.

Come on guys, it's all Adblock nowadays.

What if I got behind on my dues to the Communist Party?


Posted On: Wednesday - November 30th 2016 1:11PM MST
In Topics:   Commies

Just a quick thought as I was reading the transcript of John Derbyshire's (of VDare.com, purged during the 00's purges from National Review magazine) last week's podcast.

He mentions Frank Marshall Davis (people say he was MaObama's real Dad - who knows? Luckily, who cares, at this point?).

Quote: His early mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was an actual paid-up, card-carrying member of the Communist Party, according to the FBI."

I have been treasurer of a club before, and I had to keep up with the member's dues, meaning trying to get some deadbeats to pay up, or working out deals with them. If I were in the CPUSA, and I did get behind a few months or years in my dues, I would probably just tell the party Treasurer that from each according to his ability, to each according to his means! and possibly raise up my right fist, unless this was via phone or email.

I am not a xenophobe!


Posted On: Wednesday - November 30th 2016 12:21PM MST
In Topics:   Immigration Stupidity

I wrote this up as a letter to VDare.com in response to this article about the growing use of this pejorative term for people who like to live among their own countrymen:

*******************************
Regarding Mr. Fulford's column, Dictionary.com notwithstanding, I have also been aware of the more widespread use of the term Xenophobe. I will tell you right now that I greatly resent being called this nasty term, not because I am sick to death of foreigners (which I am, BTW), but just due to my knowledge of basic chemistry!

Have you people (NY Times, I guess?) no shame? At no point in my life have I lived in any kind of irrational fear of the element Xenon, or any other of the noble gases in column 8 of the periodic table! I will grant you that the EPA got me freaked out about the element Radon back in the '80's, but this was no irrational fear. It was quite rational, until I realized the EPA were full-of-it like all almost all other US Gov't agencies.

I am a great friend of Neon. I think it is one of the most vibrant of elements, and I welcome it to our cities and bars. I welcome to our society any element with a stable outer shell of electrons. We should all appreciate a diversity of molecular weights, and not be afraid of and bullying to any isotopes, even those that shed a few neutrons now and then. No, I don't personally have a filled outer shell, but I have close friends who have Argon in between their windowpanes and aquaintances who suck on Helium quite often in order to talk like the Donald (no, the duck, get with the program, people).

To be brutally honest with myself, yes, OK, I used to fear the Alkali metals. Yes, I said the A-word, OK. However, it was only due to my lingering post-traumatic disorder from my tossing of a hunk of sodium into the toilet in 10th grade. I am currently in a 12 step program for this and have made the appropriate apologies.

In conclusion, I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, to be slandered in such a fashion, by people who wouldn't know the Lanthanides from the Rare Earths in a hole in the ground.

FIRST POST - Am I a curmudgeon?


Posted On: Monday - November 28th 2016 7:36PM MST
In Topics:   General Stupidity  Music  Curmudgeonry

OK, I'm going live after messing with this URL and my doctored-up blog software on-and-off for longer than I want to admit right now.

I will try to keep a lot of humor in my posts as I write about the crazy, stupid, and once-in-a-while decent things going on in the country and the world. You can see this in the banner above and the "What is ...?" link on the left. However, I will probably come off as a curmudgeon much of the time.

What is a curmudgeon? You've heard the term, I figure. As a curmudgeon, my first beef is the definitions that appear when I bing (same as google, possibly less spying involved) the word. The definitions just involve cranky, mean, stubborn, cantankerous, etc. I have better connotations right off the top of my head than these idiots on-line (wiki, vocabulary.com, etc.). The curmudgeon is usually a guy ( with the exception of Florence King, whom I just found out died sadly about a year back ) who is just downright sick of the way things change for the worse (or thinks they do, more like) and is pretty down on anything new, even if he really hasn't thought much of it, or tried it. It really doesn't match the few definitions I saw just now, via bing. For one thing, it does not at all require one to be mean or cranky.

Anyway, by my, correct, definition, I can see that I think like this, but I think to be a curmudgeon, one must think this way without the world really having changed in a bad way. This is why I wonder: Am I a curmudgeon, or is the country and most of the world really starting to suck ass?

Take music, for instance. Yes, my parents really bad-mouthed the rock-and-roll, and said it wasn't good like the old stuff, so how is it different if I think the same of the modern music compared to what I liked and still enjoy? If it's just the same old story each generation or so, that would make me a curmudgeon - at least with respect to music. If modern music is, indeed, vapid crap and worse, then it's not me, it's the music, right? For this particular area, the answer is easy to come by. How, you ask? Think about this: even an old-timer who grew up in the 1940's or so will still admit to liking at least some of the rock-and-roll (stuff with a good tune) or at least the folk, pop, real country music, and the rest that was heard well after their youth. And now, you've got 15 year-olds listening to Zeppelin, AC/DC, and thousands of other artists from the 60's through 80's because the hip-hop is GARBAGE, the pop music sounds like crap too, and they realize it at their young age.

The above, and other thoughts - let me write about Windows software another time - make me realize that it's not me, it's the world that is the problem.

I hope to revisit this theme, one that most of any readers of this site may also ponder, during other posts.

However, in the meantime, could music this good ever be written in this day and age? (Spoiler alert, pshaaaww, hell no, in the vernacular of a curmudgeon):
