Welcome to Ye Olde Colde Furye Blogge’s shiny new open-comments thread, where y’all can have at it as you wish, on any topic you like. Do note that the official CF comments policy remains in effect here, as enumerated in the left sidebar. All new posts will appear below this one. There will be blood…
Comments policy
NOTE: In order to comment, you must be registered and approved as a CF user. Since so many user-registrations are attempted by spam-bots for their own nefarious purposes, YOUR REGISTRATION MAY BE ERRONEOUSLY DENIED.
If you are in fact a legit hooman bean desirous of registering yourself a CF user name so as to be able to comment only to find yourself caught up as collateral damage in one of my irregularly (un)scheduled sweeps for hinky registration attempts, please shoot me a kite at the email addy over in the right sidebar and let me know so’s I can get ya fixed up manually.
ALSO NOTE: You MUST use a valid, legit email address in order to successfully register, the new anti-spam software I installed last night requires it. My thanks to Barry for all his help sorting this mess out last night.
Comments appear entirely at the whim of the guy who pays the bills for this site and may be deleted, ridiculed, maliciously edited for purposes of mockery, or otherwise pissed over as he in his capricious fancy sees fit. The CF comments section is pretty free-form and rough and tumble; tolerance level for rowdiness and misbehavior is fairly high here, but is NOT without limit.
Management is under no obligation whatever to allow the comments section to be taken over and ruined by trolls, Leftists, and/or other oxygen thieves, and will take any measures deemed necessary to prevent such. Conduct yourself with the merest modicum of decorum, courtesy, and respect and you'll be fine. Pick pointless squabbles with other commenters, fling provocative personal insults, issue threats, or annoy the host (me) and...you won't.
Should you find yourself sanctioned after running afoul of the CF comments policy as stated and feel you have been wronged, please download and complete the Butthurt Report form below in quadruplicate; retain one copy for your personal records and send the others to the email address posted in the right sidebar.
Please refrain from whining, sniveling, and/or bursting into tears and waving your chubby fists around in frustrated rage, lest you suffer an aneurysm or stroke unnecessarily. Your completed form will be reviewed and your complaint addressed whenever management feels like getting around to it. Thank you.

Notable Quotes
"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards."
—Claire Wolfe, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution
Claire's Cabal—The Freedom Forums
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
—Daniel Webster
“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
—Charles Bukowski
“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
—Ezra Pound
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
—Frank Zappa
“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
—John Adams
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
—Bertrand de Jouvenel
"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
—GK Chesterton
"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
—Donald Surber
"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
—Etienne de la Boiete
"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower
"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
—Skeptic
"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
—David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar
"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
—John Adams
"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
—Frederick Douglass
"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
—Joseph Goebbels
“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
—Ronald Reagan
"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
—NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

I have been listening to these assholes talk about war with Russia, like it would be a nothinburger. Is everybody frickin nuts?
Which assholes are you listening to/speaking of? The political class? The lovers of all things commie?
“Is everybody frickin nuts?”
Yes. 🙂
PS Zelensky is funded by Soros / WEF
SShhhhhhhh! We’re not supposed to know – anything. Or ask any questions. About anything.
This here being a North Carolina based blog, it should be mentioned that the month of March is full of madness known as the NCAA basketball tournament.
68 teams have been whittled down to four, and 1/2 of those four schools are from the state of North Carolina.
The great North Carolina Tar Heels will play dook in the national championship semi-finals next Saturday.
UNC has the most final four trips in history, 21, and the most NCAA tournament wins in history at 130. UNC is 3rd in number of national championships with 6.
Go Heels!
Go Tar Heels!!!
UNC v Villanova in the Finals. A rematch!!
2nd time’s the charm!
I hate the injury to the Villanova player. I know of at least two likely championships Coach Smith didn’t have an opportunity for because of injury and one for Coach Williams.
This Pirate says blackball ain’t nothin. We have more active MLB players than ANY school.
MLB = BLM
Just sayin…
And I’m wondering if you pirates are sniffing glue again:
https://www.ncaa.com/news/baseball/article/2016-06-09/college-baseball-schools-produce-most-mlb-players
OK, that was not the link I intended as it is a few years old, 2021:
https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/colleges-with-the-most-players-on-2021-mlb-opening-day-rosters/
Don’t see a 2022 list just yet, but if y’all made the jump to Numero Uno then you must have had a hell of a signing last year. I’m guessing it’s just the glue 🙂
As the title says, “Must watch, Three Minutes…”
Who is running our government?
The answer is in this video.
What’s today?
The day before Carolina beats dook in the Final Four.
OK, two things here.
1) I am always amazed at the musical talent some people have.
2) A song like this is just begging to play in the White House.
I remain a Trump first person, but damn this is good.
Saw the original Skynyrd here at the civic center. 2 days later was the crash when Ronnie, Steve, and Cassie died. Still remember that concert like it was yesterday – literally. To this day, I can see ’em plain as day in my minds eye, just like when I was there. To your point, Barry, yeah, musical talent is incredible. Hell – I can’t carry a tune in a 55 gallon drum – empty or full! The fact is that with those 3 Van Zandt brothers, they were/are unbelievably gifted.
“Hell – I can’t carry a tune in a 55 gallon drum…”
Right there with you. I can’t even understand how a song is written and music composed..
Time to rub it in.
Have a year long coronation of your retirement, then lose your last game on your home floor against Carolina, then lose your last game ever to Carolina.
On to Monday night where we will be dining on bird!
Duke played a great game, no shame in the loss.
What wine pairs well with Crispy Jayhawks?
Hmm, I think dook whine will do it.
Yep, definitely. dook whine it is.
What fresh hell is in the works now?
