    If you missed it, GJT won the “Find of the Day Award” yesterday with his article on “Smokey” Yunick. I’ve not thought about him in years, but his “7:8 scale” Chevelle was legendary.

    This 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle race car is considered by many to be Smokey Yunick’s magnum opus. Although the popular urban legend claims that the car was actually a 7:8 scale version of a stock Chevelle, the truth is perhaps a little less wacky than that. Still, the modifications to the car were significant. Smokey moved the body of the car backward three inches for better weight distribution, raised the floor and smoothed out the underside of the car for better aerodynamics, and made the bumpers and fenders flush with the rest of the body. In other words, even though it looked like it, the car was no longer a stock Chevelle.

    Smokey Yunick built two of these Chevelles for NASCAR racing. The first car, driven by Curtis Turner, took the pole position at the 1967 Daytona 500. The un-sponsored, underfunded car shocked the NASCAR community, and many drivers accused Smokey of cheating. However, it passed an inspection, and continued to race until Turner crashed it in Atlanta later that year. The second Chevelle was built for the 1968 Daytona 500, but never made it past inspection. There’s no doubt that Smokey Yunick’s Chevelle was one of the most technologically advanced cars of its day.

    FWIW; He was a genius, years ahead of his time. In the early 50’s he turned wrenches for Marshall Teague, getting the maximum HP out of the Hudson, Big, 308 CID I-6 motor. The engine produced gobs of torque and in the lighter frame of the streamlined Hudson Hornet, it was very competitive. After some problems with the crankshaft in the I-6, Yunick determined that the rod angle was too acute, so he moved the crankshaft and left the bore/stroke alone, so it was within the rules.
    It took me awhile, some Googling but I finally found an article that mentioned the Rod angle, it’s about ½ way down the page. Linky here; Smokey Tells All

    The recycling unicorn has met the harness of reality.

    HEADLINE: Recycling is becoming so expensive that some towns don’t know what to do

    China has stopped accepting our recyclable materials because the plastic and paper is “contaminated.” Other countries around the world are following suit. So the big question is what the heck do we do with all that stuff?
    The waste paper could be burned to generate electricity, but the eco-nazi-whack-jobs will simply not allow it – science be damned. The plastics could be reprocessed into fence boards or building components for low-income housing or whatever, but there is so much red tape involved it makes reasonable solutions not economically viable. The big dilemma is: Do we actively look for a solution or do we continue to be led around by the nose at the whim of the Luddite enviro-wackos?

    Morning gang. Absolutely great diversity sandwich OC photo this morning. Another cloudy but warm morning today. Got a couple of fire ant beds popping up, so I’ll deal with them before the day is out. I’m planning to go to the tax office today and write a check to get that behind me. I’m getting all ready for the impeachment olympics, which actually gets started today with the swearing in of that weasel John Roberts who is Chief Justice of SCOTUS. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t get the big head and start to think that he is actually in charge of something. The Senate writes its own rules, and his job is merely to enforce and interpret those rules. Since he has already proved that he can read plain english sentences and determine that they mean something other than what they say, I still perceive him as a wild card in this fiasco. And of course, there are the limp wristed eReps who may see an opening here to inflict some damage. Anyway, it might be worth paying attention just to watch the roaches scurry about when some sunlight is introduced, assuming that it is. The Dems will never allow the light to be shined on their activities, so it could even be them that decide to withdraw their complaint before this is over.

    OK, you all have a great day. I’ve found that starting my day with at least a portion of the yoga exercises I posted last night makes me feel better right away, so try it some time.

So, my question to you is, do you think that they think they can win with that loser? Or is he just a sacrificial lamb, to save the Democrat party until 2024?

    It’s really gratifying to watch this play out as the leftwing media finally begin to admit the craven hypocrisy and transparent manipulation of CNN.  Wow, they’re beginning to sound like Donald Trump with their criticism.

    Matt Taibi at Rolling Stone:

    Phillip asked him to clarify: He never said it? “That is correct,” Sanders said. Phillip turned to Warren and deadpanned: “Senator Warren, what did you think when Senator Sanders told you a woman could not win the election?”

    That “when” was as transparent a media “f**k you” as we’ve seen in a presidential debate. It evoked memories of another infamous CNN ambush, when Bernard Shaw in 1988 crotch-kicked Mike Dukakis with a question about whether he’d favor the death penalty for someone who raped and murdered his wife, Kitty.

    This time, the whole network tossed the mud. Over a 24-hour period before, during, and after the debate, CNN bid farewell to what remained of its reputation as a nonpolitical actor via a remarkable stretch of factually dubious reporting, bent commentary, and heavy-handed messaging.

    I think Bernie Sanders is a ridiculous clown, but he has never lied about who or what he is.  The guy has no shame, but he is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get candidate.  Elizabeth Warren, on the other hand, is revealing herself to be a Hillary-level congenital liar.  She is not just annoying these days, she is disgusting.

    My Carville/Bennet theory holds they will gamble with a virtual unknown, bland candidate without a record of hysterical ideological baggage.  Maybe they can win, odds are they lose against Trump, but the goal is avoid at all costs branding the Democratic Party as a bunch of deranged communist morons.

    Just remember – it’s a theory and not the only one I have.

    The Flint Michigan lead water crises led to over $600 million in funding to correct the problem. The amount of diversion, graft and corruption associated with that funding is appalling, but, given the long term D domination of the area, not one bit surprising.

    Heh.

    The group of 20 West Virginia Republicans, and one Independent, introducing the resolution said in the proposal that Virginia lawmakers have repudiated “the counsel of that tribune of liberty, Patrick Henry-who stated to the Virginia Ratifying Convention in 1788 that ‘The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun.’”

    “[T]he government at Richmond now seeks to place intolerable restraints upon the rights guaranteed under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution to the citizens of [Virginia,]” the proposal reads.

    If it passes, the Virginia General Assembly would need to approve the resolution as well, and hold an election prior to August 1, 2020 allowing residents in Virginia counties to vote on whether they’d like to join West Virginia.

    This is very interesting.

    Three different judges have recently ruled that the design of the AR-15 makes the popular rifle impervious to federal regulation when it is bought and sold piece by piece. 

    Authorities have responded to the discovery of the legal loophole with alarm. They have warned that the government’s ability to effectively enforce guns law across the United States could be at risk.

    “Now the cat is out of the bag, so I think you’ll see more of this going on,” Stephen Halbrook, an attorney who has written books on gun law and history, told The Associated Press. “Basically, the government has gotten away with this for a long time.”

    The ads are ubiquitous.  Everywhere on TV and the internet.

    Plant-based meat has taken the world by storm, with two major brands dominating the market. Both the Impossible Burger and Beyond Meat Burger have redefined the veggie burger, because both of them mimic the texture of real beef.

    More and more people are choosing to eat less meat for various reasons, such as personal health concerns and the environmental impact of animal agriculture. And with new brands cropping up across the market — like Meatless Farm Co. and Kellogg’s new Incogmeato line, consumers are faced with more decisions than ever before.

    The Beyond Burger and the Impossible Burger remain the top contenders in the meatless meat market, so we broke down all the need-to-know details. Consider this your ultimate guide to two of the most popular faux meat options on the market.

    I think there is a huge novelty factor here and the fad will wear off.  They won’t disappear, but notice institutional investors are on the sidelines with this stuff.  It’s mostly retail, individual investors driving this or, as my son-in-law would say,  Upper East Side Trust Fund Hipsters and Silicon Valley Nouveau Riche Geeks.

    We are told “cultural appropriation refers to ‘taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else’s culture without permission.’”

    So, uh, whom do I go to for “permission” to eat a burrito or play a sitar? Can anyone who’s Mexican or Indian grant the appropriate permission? Or do I need signoff from everyone in the given ethnicity?

    There have been tons of columns, articles, tweets, etc. on the Senate impeachment rules and regulations.  I don’t claim to know this subject, but at least I admit it.  I think there are plenty of folks writing and publishing out there who don’t know what they are talking about.

    This guy, however, is a former Secretary of the Senate and a contributor over at Ricochet.com and that qualifies him to speak out before just about anybody else.

    First, the Senate’s role is not synonymous with that of a jury. Juries do not compel the attendance of witnesses, but the Senate can. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court will preside over the trial and may issue rulings on such matters as the admissibility of evidence. But a majority of the Senate can overrule the Chief Justice, not vice versa. More likely is that instead of ruling on a contentious issue, Chief Justice John Roberts will simply submit a request to rule to a majority vote (then-Chief Justice William Renquist did that during the 1999 Clinton impeachment trial). By the way, there is no debate when the Senate votes on whether to rule or to overturn the ruling of a chair. I highly recommend reading Federalist 65, written by Alexander Hamilton, which outlines the thought process behind the Framer’s somewhat unique impeachment process, as outlined in Article I of the Constitution (sections 2 and 3).

    No longer protected by a state disclosure law loophole, the City of McAllen revealed this week that it spent $485,000 in taxpayer money to hire Enrique Iglesias to perform for its winter holiday festival and parade in 2015.

    McAllen fended off multiple public information requests for that information, contending they could keep details of its contract with Iglesias a secret. A new state law closing the loophole went into effect on Jan.1.

    As The Texas Monitor reported last year, McAllen lost nearly $100,000 on tickets sales and other expenses for the concert and spent another $188,000 on the holiday parade.

    Have you ever had them? You’d be surprised, not something that I grew up with though. OH, Souse! I forgot, Damn fine eating, hard to beat. Cracklings, did I mention Salt fish for breakfast? With corn meal gravy? Grits N fried Bluegill? Dang, I think Squawk is on to something.

    Nope. No chitlins. Or any of the rest.

    I did have a bite of liver in my mouth for a very brief period.

    One Alabaman thing I just can’t cotton to, and I’m 1/4 Alabaman, is that nasty white barbecue sauce. Whoever invented that crime against humanity should be drawn and quartered.

    #82 I’ve never, ever seen that in my neck of the woods, I think that is a South Carolina thing.
    #83 “SD – Can you get menudo in a restaurant in Alabama?’…You’re kidding right? We have three Mesican restaurants here in our one horse town, and the best one is the cheapest, it is a chain, I guess since there is one in Enterprise. The first time we went there, the waitress was training a young gal that spoke no English, well, very little and the other gal was certainly not from here. I asked them if they had Menudo or Barbacoa, they smiled and said no, so I asked them if they knew what it was and their faces lit up and the said yes, of course.

    My #86, my lovely daughter brought me two dozen Tamale’s from her cleaning lady in Midland and I got to thinking, I wonder if I could get one of those gals at the Mesican place to make me a dozen Tamale’s, on the side, for a price, of course.
    I can’t get over all y’all Lording over me with your homemade Tamales at Christmas and I’m 700 miles away! 😉

    Only place I’ve ever seen it is Alabama. Might be a north Alabama thing.

    Well, I found this news report online about the arrest of 4 hoodlums that killed an armored car security guard during a robbery in Houston.  It was good police work at many levels that they finally caught these filthy perps. Then I was flabbergasted to see this at the end of the report:

    If convicted, they face up to 20 years in federal prison.

    Surely that can’t be right. Not in Texas, dammit!

    If my daughter drove 1,100 miles all the way from Midland, Texas to south Alabama and brought me only two dozen, instead of at least twelve dozen tamales, she would be in deep, deep trouble.

    Well, I complete the Patton movie and thoroughly enjoyed it since it’s been a good while since I last saw it. Just continued rain, so I’m staying in like I had good sense or something. I’ll just watch something else on Fox for a while longer and give it up after that. More later.
