Men & Women, Seen On Campus

Seems as though our kids are being taken in hand:

“Over the last two days, at least six female teachers across the nation have been arrested for engaging in inappropriate sexual misconduct with students…”

Just to add a little perspective, here:  six teachers out of tens of thousands is barely a rounding error, and the “past two days” is just a random cluster — it’s not every two days, after all.

Then again, to complete the excerpt:

“…including one Kentucky educator who allegedly took part in encounters with a pair of 16-year-old boys.”

Now that’s what I call a well-rounded education.

And yeah, I’m not taking it seriously because the “victims” are teenage boys, and teenage boys are hardly the precious little pets the media makes them out to be.  I mean, I was a teenage boy, back in the Jurassic Age, and if the delectable red-headed Miss Cooke had ever offered herself to me…

 
…in a heartbeat, Bubba.

News Roundup

Bad News

So now that we’re suitably anesthetized, let’s chew on the news:


...[snork] you had me at “roads scholar”.  And speaking of bright sparks:


...we need new planners, methinks.  After we’ve made the existing ones disappear.


...or maybe all we need is the modern equivalent of the old “pump jockeys” (loud sound alert):


...and to all the people who thought this awful little trannie would ever see a jail cell, I have a NY bridge for sale.


...that would be scary, except that the Biden Administration is already halfway there — and they did it with stupidity.


...lock up your sons.


...and in the good old days, this little snowflake would have been hanged for lèse-majesté.  I miss those days SO much.


...we already knew that, assholes.  No doubt this was funded with taxpayer money.


…and my solution:

And in INSIGNIFICA:

  ...no pics because sheesh.


...okay, this is going to be good.

Because:

Have mercy (x2).

Gratuitous Gun Pic: Sporterized Mauser 98 (8x57mm)

Gratuitous Gun Pics

I have to admit that my experience with “sporterized” military rifles has not been good.  Too often, the work has compromised the function (and still more often the aesthetic beauty) of the original.  (This is not the case when the sporterizer has had a name like “Goudy”, “Stegall” or “Goens”, but then again, the lofty skills of said gunmakers has always been accompanied by loftier-still prices, so I’ve only ever handled such rifles, but never fired one.)

Here’s one that caught my eye, however, at Collectors:

Other than the plastic stock, I can’t find too much to dislike about this rifle — even that ugly muzzle brake should tame the 8×57’s recoil.  Also, it’s selling for less than a grand (compared to the $5,000-plus of the custom rifles from the above makers).

Want, with wood.

Lies Upon Lies Upon Lies

Eco-Crap, Two-Minute Hate, Watermelons

Thanks are owed to Jack Hellner at American Thinker  for taking the time to do what I’ve been too lazy to do:  cataloguing all the climate lies of the past fifty or so years.

I’m reminded of Hitchens’s Razor, that statements presented without evidence can equally be dismissed without evidence.  Trouble is that the Climate Charlatans have repeatedly presented evidence, except that the data themselves have been not only fallacious but outright lies, fabrications and distortions.

So… when can we begin the mass hangings and firing squads?

Bass Longing

Music

Inspired by the first video below, here is a short list of songs in which I’d like to have played bass guitar, on stage with these artists (and no, I was never as good as the featured bassists, but so what):

Little Brown Bird (Tal Wilkenfeld, Clapton/Beck)

The Confessor (Dave The Bass Player, Joe Walsh)

Sometime World (Martin Turner, Wishbone Ash)

Sledgehammer (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)

Every time I hear the bass on these songs, I get an attack of the If Onlies…
