No fish today:
We're off on a mission of indeterminate importance.

As always, Future Anthropologists Huddled in Caves will know where they can find us over the weekend. But we won't be posting today.

  1. Breaking: Ducks R Them!

    It was March 21, 2012. We were sitting with a friend (well, actually a random stranger in a bar in the “better” part of Baltimore). The television was tuned to the Arts & Entertainment network, once the bastion of high-brow liberal egghead “Arts” programming, the stuff of the elite liberal enclaves of the bicoastal wastelands, sneeringly looking down on the rubes of middle America and their country music. But on this momentous evening, we witnessed a major breakthrough. Our “friend” was thrilled. Phil Robertson came on. We were mesmerized. Finally, a show about regular working stiffs aimed at regular working stiffs. It matters not that the Robertsons were already wealthy and became fabulously wealthy the old-fashioned way: reality TV. They earned their money the hard way, not like those lazy professors and upper-crust city mice. And not like those mental midgets who watch “Friends” and to whom rags like the Times condescend by writing articles about “Friends” to indulge their readers’ abased tastes.

    No, this was something Different Entirely.

    And thus, Duck Dynasty was born, a milestone in TV history.

    It was a bit jarring to hear rock music being used as the theme music instead of the country music that’s native to the indigenous species of humans Out There, but, doggone it, it was Southern Rock: ZZ Top, a bold and gifted hirsute trio from the wilds of the Lone Star State.

    Liberals will never understand the thrill that went up the legs of the white working class when finally, after 50 decades of television, they saw themselves and their hopes and dreams embodied on a reality television show. Where Hee Haw had been glitzy and rehearsed, the Dynasty was raw and unfiltered.

    Wow! I do declare, Shazam, and kiss my grits.

    1. 'Liberals will never understand the thrill'

      So it takes a concern troll, a lying Trumptard like TDH to understand these thrills ?

  2. While Democrats are carrying on perpetual investigations, Trump is doing presidential duty.

    In an Oval Office press conference yesterday, President Trump and China’s Vice Premier announced a Phase 1 set of agreements that will be documented over the next several weeks. Trump’s many years of experience as a negotiator shine through.

    The Phase 1 agreement covers several important topics, including agricultural sales. China has agreed to ramp up its purchases of agricultural products to $40-$50 billion–three times the previous peak–over the next two years. Trump joked that farmers will need to buy more land and work overtime. That means, I think, that Democrats can say goodbye to hopes that tariffs would be the issue that could win votes in rural America.

    The agreement also opens up China’s financial services markets to American companies, covers currency manipulation, and addresses some aspects of intellectual property and technology transfer agreements. Phase 2 negotiations will begin immediately.

    In view of the Phase 1 agreement, new tariffs scheduled to go into effect on October 15 have been canceled. Further tariff increases are scheduled for December 15, but Trump and Steven Mnuchin, who participated in the press conference, emphasized that there is plenty of time to reach a Phase 2 agreement that would nullify those increases. Phase 2 could be the final agreement, or, if there are still open issues, there could be a Phase 3.

  3. Deadrat wants a list of feminists Somerby dislikes. I will start with Amanda Marcotte.

    When someone made that remark that Hillary should be taken into a room and only one person should come out, several women's groups complained. Somerby was unsupportive. During all of the complaints about the behavior of the Bernie Bros, Somerby was unsupportive. When that photo emerged of Obama's speechwriters fondling a lifesize cutout of Hillary, Somerby was unsupportive. He doesn't think anything women complain about is any big deal. He is consistently dismissive of whoever is complaining anout this stuff.

    It is not only a conservative meme to attack feminists, just as it is a conservative meme to attack those with education, but Somerby takes that a step further and consistently singles out female physicists, female educators, female journalists for dismissive discussion because women are a twofer for him. And now he gives special attention to Kamala and Warren when there are so many things he might have said about Beto and Julian and Pete and Uncle Joe.

    Somerby doesn't like women. If you try to argue this one, deadrat, you will make yourself sound ridiculous.
