Dirty, dirty beer.
Belgians are chuckling over the new corporate name for beer giant Interbrew (maker of Stella Artois). After merging with Brazil’s AmBev, the company changed its title to InBev which, as beer expert Tim Webb notes, is Antwerp slang for cunnilingus…
I don’t care what pound test you have on the reel. If you ever manage to hook this Speckled Trout, you ain’t landing it.
Red Drum are on the rebound in South Carolina, thanks to all those regulations commercial fishermen swore would be the death of them.
The target for McDonald on this day was red drum, the tough inshore species that dwindled to dangerously low numbers in the late 1980s and early 1990s thanks to years of commercial netting and a lack of solid recreational regulations.
The banning of inshore gill nets, the institution of strict recreational limits and the species designation as a gamefish, have helped red drum make an encouraging comeback in South Carolina’s coastal areas.
Solunar notes from Kansas
1. I have had more consistent success when fishing the major peak. The fish caught on theses peaks were overall larger ones. Most of the largemouth bass would go between four and eight and a half pounds.
2. The success with the largemouth large ones was by far the highest on the major peak in the new moon window days. One exception occurred just a day or two ago when I had great success in the full moon window days. In 45 minutes I caught three largemouth bass, two at four pounds and one at eight and a half pounds. A point of interest on this is that by national statistics, 65 percent of the world record fish have been caught on the major peak and 74 percent in the new moon window days.
3. Several times I went out with clear air away from the major peak. I caught fish, but they were all smaller ones. I also believe when the bigger ones are active the smaller ones are not and vice versa.
4. A couple times I hit just as weather change to a high pressure was coming on and the major peak was there, and I had unbelievable success.
When we said we valued diversity, we meant your skin, not your mind
A radio talk show host drew criticism Thursday after calling Condoleezza Rice an “Aunt Jemima” and saying she isn’t competent to be secretary of state.
John Sylvester, the program director and morning personality on WTDY-AM in Madison, said in a phone interview Thursday that he used the term on Wednesday’s show to describe Rice and other blacks as having only a subservient role in the Bush administration.
…
He said he was planning a giveaway on Friday’s show of Aunt Jemima pancake mix and syrup. “I will apologize to Aunt Jemima,” he said.
Imagine the foofaraw if a right-wing radio host had made the same comment.
Or if a conservative cartoonist had drawn this
Or if a conservative website was selling this
In some otherwise PC circles, it’s still ok to be racist, as long as one’s racism is directed at a minority individual residing on the conservative side of the political divide, and one doesn’t go so far as to actually call the person a kike or a nigger. John Sylvester, Pat Oliphant and the “Fighting for Whitey” creator illustrate the divide perfectly. In their minds it is impossible for them to be racist as long as they don’t actually state that “Condi Rice is a nigger.”
However, implying that Condi Rice is a nigger, portraying her as a nigger, or employing a code term that would be obviously racist had it been spoken by a Kluxer are perfectly acceptable practices. Calling someone a “Likudnik” is the same practice applied to Jews.
It’s not racism, it’s “nuance.”
