My Kinda Gal

…actually, Bob Marley’s granddaughter, who was getting yelled at because she wore a t-shirt with “White Lives Matter” printed on it, which of course upset the Usual Suspects.  They climbed onto Twatter and sent off many broadsides calling her the usual names.

Here’s her response:

Good for you, sweetheart.  Everyone should respond in the same way to the Snowflake / Wokist / BLM / Permanently-Aggrieved when they start the Cancellation Derby.

Speed Bump #2,108

…and I don’t care.  Because once again, my reading’s suspension has taken a pounding.

You Brits are supposed to have invented the language;  why can’t you fucking speak it?

— Dennis Farina (Snatch)

Ummm “been sat” ?  What the fuck does that mean?  Should it read “been sitting” or “sat” or (what I think they wanted to say, but I can’t really tell) “left to sit”?

Creating compound verbs without regard to proper tense grates on me more than a Hillary Clinton campaign speech.  Here’s another example of the same illiterate bullshit:

“He was sat on a bench” — nice mix of past imperfect (was) with the past perfect (sat) there, you illiterate asswipes.  Correct usage:

“He was sitting on a bench”  — OR —

“He sat on a bench”  BUT NOT a combination of the two.

FFS, I need a drink, and it’s not even 7 o’clock yet.

And on we go into the depths…


...I thought we’d done with this little trend, butt obviously not.


...actually, Weimar Germany never did anything like this to its citizens.  But the Nazis did.


...because the outcome of that discussion would be President Kamala Harris.


...as opposed to the “rule by unelected bureaucrats of the EU”?


...into a (red) brick wall.

From the Dark Continent:


...kinda torn here, between “nuke the whole continent” and “kill every fucking monkey in existence”Simian bastards.


...and if you didn’t chortle at that headline, we can’t be friends.  Also:


...ah, Africa, where if it’s not one thing that can kill you, it’s another.

And speaking of ugly ways to die:


...because nothing says “patient safety” like “mobile abortion clinic”.


...having eaten steak and ice cream my entire adult life, I can confidently state that this finding is total bullshit.  Supporting references upon request.


...just how much more suffering can the Brits stand?


...considering today’s state-schooled youth, that’s hardly surprising.


...either way, their Democrat governors will screw up the disaster management response.  As opposed to:


...anyone care to guess how long this would take in, say, New Jersey under similar circumstances?

And in INSIGNIFICA, some breaking errr breeding news:

 

...like hers...in 300 million years.


...okay, now that the Grauniad has officially declared her a Danger To Humanity As We Know It, I can make my own judgement:

I think she’s totally hot.

And here’s a response to an email from Reader Tom L, who wrote:

Which automobile is the right one for taking the new Italian prime minister for a ride?

How about one of these?

It’s Giugiaro and Bizzarini’s Iso Grifo Spyder, with its 5.4-liter 350hp small-block Corvette V8 engine giving the petite Spyder a top speed of over 170mph.

American power and reliability coupled with Italian design and styling — need I say more?

Back to my traveling companion:

I’d learn Italian just so Giorgia and I could discuss conservative politics (for the record, her “far-right” political position is, in American terms, ever-so slightly right-of-center;  a couple of weeks closeted with me, and the Left would become apoplectic)…

…that is, when we’re not eating tenderloin crostini and drinking wine together in some small coastal village trattoria.

Not that I’ve given any of this much thought, of course…

Arrogance

From our esteemed Quack-In-Chief:

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday responded to Republican vows to investigate him after he steps down from his government roles in December, saying he would consider testifying but not submit to “character assassination.”

Errrr consider testifying?

Ask Steve Bannon what happens if you refuse to obey a Congressional subpoena, you arrogant little prick.

Oh, and by the way: if you’re testifying before Congress and someone decides to assassinate your character, that’s called “parliamentary privilege”, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I’m getting so sick of bureaucrats thinking that they’re somehow above the law.

Beaten To The Punch

I was actually going to write this post, except that someone far more qualified than I wrote it first.  And with far less profanity than I would have, too.  A sample:

Fascism didn’t really come into play as a functioning ideology until Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini, defined it as the state as an organic being, controlling everything. “Everything in the state, nothing against the state, nothing outside the state” became the definition of a totalitarian state (total control over the economy, society, and culture). Where Marx envisioned the “withering away” of the state (totally skipping over human nature and the drive for power and control, whether over other people or just your own life), Mussolini and Gentile envisioned the state as the sole arbiter of life, the universe, and everything.

Small-government conservatives, by definition, are therefore not fascists.

It’s a lot easier to define “fascism” or “fascist” as an epithet by using George Orwell’s remark, written in 1944:

The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable.’

…to the accuser.
