Good morning kids. Monday and Happy Columbus Day! To the descendants of indigenous people from the New World, you should get down on your knees and thank the great spirit for delivering you from the prior 20,000-plus years of warring, headhunting, enslavement and human sacrifices that Columbus’ arrival heralded. Something to ponder, anyway. In any case, with…
The destruction of Judeo-Christian philosophy is nowhere more evident than the relatively recent diminution of the value of human life from something unique to that of just another animal living on their precious Gaia. Peter Singer may be the most obvious American example of this terrifying trend, which hides behind various terms like “utilitarianism,” and…
Good morning kids. The weekend is here and there are a number of links today that are giving me palpitations. I mean, it’s a veritable Mason Reese “borgasmord” of insanity. First up, the presidential brain trust — and considering they installed someone whose intellectual agility at this point makes the electrical impulses of a wilted rhubarb resemble…
I don’t particularly care about the health of the world’s airlines, in particular Virgin Atlantic, whose recent ad is absolutely puke-worthy. Seats on planes are commodities, and small variations in service are trivial in comparison to the overall misery of flying nowadays. And in my experience airlines lie more than most other businesses. The closest…
Good morning kids. Thursday and the October non-surprising surprise sliming of Herschel Walker five weeks before the midterms is appearing to be a flop. Polling shows him to still be in a virtual tie with Senate installee (no way he nor Ossoff legitimately won those races, despite the crappy candidates we had) Raphael “wife-beater” Warnock. If,…
Good morning kids. Wednesday and while the proverb about “people in glass houses” is all well and good, it rarely if ever applies to a Democrat. For sure not a colored Democrat of color. Except I think this time in the wake of the October non-surprise (and as of yet completely unsubstantiated) accusations against Georgia…
We have seen ample evidence of the whiny little snowflakes that inhabit the halls of academia in America. Safe spaces, segregated housing, gourmet food, no triggering words, and on and on. And intellectual challenge? Hah! They are soft and weak, and their prospects in a world that doesn’t cater to their every whim — like…
Good morning kids. Tuesday and, SURPRISE! It’s October surprise time! With five weeks to go until the midterms, and Herschel Walker by all indications in prime position to beat the wife-beating Warlock Warnock by, at a minimum, enough of a clear margin to beat the cheat if not deliver an ass-kicking, someone comes out of…
Good morning kids. Start of a new week and my hopes and prayers for Florida sadly came to naught as the death toll in the wake of Hurricane Ian now stands at 76 confirmed dead as of this morning. I pray that it doesn’t rise, but given the magnitude of devastation, I fear that it…
In the rush to blame someone for the twin explosions in The Baltic Sea, the question of “cui bono” remains to be answered. Ignoring the Polish EU Parliament representative’s silly comment and the usual suspects spouting nonsense without one bit of data to bolster their points, a sober look at the issue yields…nothing. Why would…
