Big day today, as Zephyr Teachout will try to Wu NY Democrats and hopefully defeat that sorryass non-Democrat Democrat Governor of ours. Or at least hopefully she gets enough votes to make Andy nervous. If you’re a NY Democrat, be sure to head to the polls and vote for her and for Wu as well. If you’re not a NY Democrat, well, I hear voter fraud is super easy to get away with here in NY, ‘cuz we kind of encourage people to vote instead of making it difficult for them.
As if Primary Day wasn’t enough, today is also the day the cab for my tractor is supposed to arrive. Not that I’ll be installing it anytime soon (I certainly hope the snow doesn’t fly for a while, but you never know), but it’ll be nice to have something new to clutter the garage with.
But wait, there’s more! Destiny – a PS4 game I pre ordered months and months ago so I’d get exclusive access to play the beta when it came out (but never did) – will be delivered today as well. This is good, ‘cuz I’ve been through Wolfenstein: The New Order a couple of times now. Unfortunately, I suck at video games, but what the hell.
None of that matters, of course, because today’s the day that Apple will announce a new iPhone! And it’s reportedly gonna be something special – the same fucking iPhone as it ever is with a bigger screen (actually, two bigger screen sizes). Oh, and it’s going to be slightly thinner, of course. And cool, really cool. Probably the coolest iPhone ever. Plus I hear they may incorporate a few features that have been available on the Android platform for a long time, but which will now be THE MOST AWESOME THINGS EVER!! Oh and they may announce a watch, too!
So, I guess I’d been living in a news blackout zone, but I hadn’t heard anything about the Ray Rice guy until a couple days ago, even though we knew about it back in February. And that was just to catch a headline that there was video of him punching his then-fiance (now wife) in an elevator. I guess I assumed it would be something disturbing, but yesterday I actually saw the video and I have to say it was worse than I thought. I mean, I was shocked (and that’s not easy to do).
To see this “big man” haul off and knock this woman out cold and then drag her out of the elevator…. I dunno what to say, so I guess I’ll just go with the words of < a href="http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/brian-kilmeade-jokes-ray-rice-video">Fux News’ Senior Relationship Expert Brian Kilmeade:
“I think the message is take the stairs.”
Or, as co-host Steve Douchey replied:
“The message is, when you’re in an elevator, there’s a camera.”
Good point, Steve. If you’re gonna beat the woman you “love” unconscious, wait until you get someplace private.
Damn, still pitch black out there. When the hell does the sun come up these days?
Hope everybody in the WFP is happy they endorsed the snot man.
Mike and I voted . The vote on Shelter Island in a general election is pretty small: perhaps 300 total. I can’t wait to see what a Dem primary total is. Mike and I were the only voters and everyone (bored stiff) was eager to help us. So, at least there will be 2 votes for Teachout and Wu.
Sounds like turnout has been really low across the state, thanks to Andy-boy not campaigning (beyond trying to get Teachout thrown off the ballot). That’s a good thing for Teachout/Wu. I’m hoping for a miracle.
That would be a nice miracle! Primary voting is usually low and this is an only Dems primary. I wonder how it’s going in NYC.
guysicko around me or my family. As a woman, how could you watch this video of what this man did to you and then share a bed with him?The exciting news is pj got a cab!!?? You are big time now, sir!!
I keep trying not to look and I see more every time I view it. And this even still is an edited version. Stone cold blooded. She needs to be evacuated.
Most people don’t know how fucked up this country is and moving backward.
His lack of concern for her is awful. And the next man who appears doesn’t seem concerned either. It’s as if this is a normal sight to him.
My thought was that the other guy – hotel employee maybe? – figured she was passed out drunk. They probable see a lot of that. But I don’t know what her face must’ve looked like after that. Or if there was blood.
Yeah, it was the dragging more than anything that appalled me. Not that punching her in the face wasn’t appalling. But dragging out like a sack of potatoes, and then like “oh, shit, gotta grab her shoe.” Just…. Words fail me.
It’s only a soft cab – more like something you’d see around a snowblower. But it should be a helluva lot warmer than being out in the cold wind and snow.
I had to think that fall down drunk was the possible assumption here. That doesn’t make it an excuse for not getting to the bottom of the matter. Someone had to look at that elevator video as a result of an incident report.
I was just reading that supposedly you could hear the guy say, “drunk, right? No cops?” and that our hero didn’t respond at all.
So, yeah, she could have been drugged or having a stroke or god knows what, and it was all cool.
“Don’t worry, man. Just gonna toss her in the trunk and then we’ll be outta your way.”
