My Kingdom For A Haircut

Yesterday was illustrative. You could watch the events in Minneapolis etc. to see what Democrats do, or you could watch the event at Cape Canaveral to see what Americans do.

You could watch the events in Minneapolis etc. to see what Democrats do, or you could watch the event at Cape Canaveral to see what Americans do.
Agreed. Democrats are not Americans.

Trying to wrap my head around this.
Plus, this is attorney Urooj Rahman (Fordham Univ – $54,000/yr tuition)

Authorities say Rahman, 31, tossed a bottle filled with gasoline through a broken window into the cruiser just before 1 am Saturday but the Molotov cocktail failed to ignite.

She had stuffed the bottle with tissue paper. (oh dear lord)
AND she wears an Arafat keffiyeh while holding a Bud Light bottle. A ignorant, privileged Jewhater with no taste in beer.
“Loser” just doesn’t seem to be an adequate word here.

Tip jar hit.

Morning, all.
Tip jar hit.
Bless you, sir. May you never have trouble finding replacement laces for your favourite pair of shoes.

Ping!

LOL. Er thanks…

Token of appreciation sent, David. 🙂
Bless you, madam. May your enemies know the infinite shame of blocking a friend’s toilet.

Oh and, Ping!
Bless you, sir. May you be spared the impropriety of a friend announcing that, while you were on the phone, they have used, and blocked, your toilet.

‘We are a progressive newspaper’
This, posted in reply, caught my eye:

Honey, I’d like to explain this to you in language you understand, so I’ll use Harry Potter. See, once you start playing around with dark magic (which is what large angry amorphous mobs whipped to a frenzy are) – you quickly find you cannot control that at all. You’re welcome.

You have to laugh, grimly, at the woke conceit that mobs, exulting in feral violence, sociopathy and the ability to terrify, are somehow known for being discerning in what it is they’re smashing or setting on fire.

Bar bill sorted. And one for yourself, barkeep.

If anyone has trouble with comments not appearing, email me and I’ll poke about in the spam filter.

Just a heads up for you folks over in Blighty.

Just pinged across a small token of appreciation.
Bless you, sir. May you never know the horror of being served an undercooked nut roast.
And in other news, she’s a professor, naturally
Pronouns, every time.

Pinged.

“are somehow known for being discerning in what it is they’re smashing or setting on fire”
– or as a farmer might put it, “What, did ya’ think the bull won’t trample you ’cause you’re a vegan?”

Pinged.
*chucks quids in tip jar*
Bless you, madam, and sir. May any visit to Poundland, or its equivalent overseas, be purely ironic.

Seems to me that holding a molotov cocktail is grounds to be shot without warning.

The word protest is an inexcusable euphemism.
By which, I mean a lie.

Tuck in.

Interracial brick distribution. Because apparently that’s a thing now.
What the f*ck is wrong with these people?

Thanks to all who’ve chipped in so far, including all those much too shy to say hello, or who’ve subscribed, or done shopping via the Amazon links. It’s what keeps this place here and is much appreciated.

. . . . . ‘k, do we want to ask what the henchlesbians were doing to ’em to make them unhappy??

Fascinating . . . . Typepad apparently has a visceral dislike of Snopes.

A lack of normal consequences?

John Cleese is claimed to have been commenting on C-19 . . .

The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

. . . but while the variations are entertaining, [ See http://www.snopes.com/fact-check/terrorist-threat-alert ] Snopes states otherwise.

—What Snopes is commenting on, where the current edition switches “Covid” for “terrorist”:

From the BBC – by John Cleese.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.”
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the Bastards.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Americans meanwhile and as usual are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case.
And in the southern hemisphere…
New Zealand has also raised its security levels – from “baaa” to “BAAAA!”. Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the airforce being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister’s bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is “I hope Australia will come and rescue us”.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be right, mate”. Three more escalation levels remain: “Crikey!’, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and “The barbie is cancelled”. So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
