...I don’t wanna say “I told you so!!” but

And completely unrelated to the above:


...no, you shouldn’t buy “an” AR-15.  You should buy at least two because, as the old saying goes, “Two is one and one is none.”  Three would be better, and four (one or two for you, and a couple for your friends, if needed) is just dandy.

Some International News:


...wait:  Japan’s getting upset by this?  It has to be bad.


...not so nice when it happens to you Arab assholes, is it?
#Payback

Some Murkin News:

And on that note, it’s time for our little journey down  :

Unlike the news, that’s just the way we like it.

News Roundup

Starting off with Global Warming Climate Cooling Change©:


...or, “How To Fuck Up A State, just Like Gavin Newsom Does”.


...unexpectedly.  Lessee:  cars that nobody wants, “renewable” energy sources that don’t work, “green” infrastructure that is more harmful than what it’s replacing… can’t imagine why people would want to bail on it all.

And in more Economic News:


...FJB.

From The Swamp:


...yeah, but they’ll find some way of bringing the fucking thing back to life.  You heard it here first. (UPDATE:  told you so.)

From Police Files:


...cops planting evidence?  Say it ain’t so.


...also to be found in the Dept. Of The Blindingly Obvious.


...in Chicago, that is a routine traffic stop.

From the Dept. of Education:


...forget it, Jake Glenn;  it’s California.


...perhaps the WashGov should ban horny teachers instead of natural gas?  Just a thought.


...nature studies, so to speak.  Very educational.


...I remember back when the Nazis referred to Physics as the “Jewish” science.  Oh how we laughed at them, the idiots...


...from Glenn’s mouth to God’s ear.

In the Hearts Of Stone Dept:


...on the one hand, it could be said that OLAS was really looking after him (not);  but on the other hand, maybe he was one of those priests (if you know what I mean), and just got what he deserved...

Train Smash Time

Oh yeah, baby:  it’s that time of year when the Grand National is run at Aintree, and when we can look forward to some Train Smash Women and their antics.

Only, this year?  Not as much fun as usual… so far:


Too many regrettable decisions to count, in that last one.

A couple, it seemed, didn’t get the memo:

…but a lot of others did, and dressed accordingly:

That said, I think these pics were taken mostly in the early morning, before the booze had a chance to do its work.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just that nobody could afford to get wasted.  HFS, look at those prices:

Racegoers will be expected to pay £7.50 for draught beers (not including Guinness) and ciders, while a 330ml can could cost up to £7.

Meanwhile, a single serving of wine is set to cost £9.50 with a full bottle priced at £37.50.

A bottle of Prosecco will set punters back £46 while a bottle of Gobillard Brut Champagne totals a staggering £85.

Cocktails are priced at £13 each, with soft drinks costing £3.20 and a can of water £2.90 itself.

We’ll just have to wait and see.  More to follow.


Update 1:  Okay, despite the cost of booze, that’s a little more Train Smash-y…


And then came… Ladies Day.
