Some good things from


...one more time, add a zero to that total so we can get really happy.


...weren’t the Boston cops going to RESIST! or something?  Oh no, wait, that’s on the Left coast:


...I thought she was about to retire, the poor old addled thing.  Anyway, let’s see how that resistance/arrest thing plays out.


...do we have a similar ROE Over Here?  If not, why not?

  1. Re. gang rape in Germany. Some 80, 85 years back we basically killed all the Germans capable of handling this situation properly. Not sure any decent Germans are left to fix their problems. I still think we should have let Patton take the remnants of the German tank corp and reformed it, painted stars and bars on the Panzers, and then gone after the commies.

    1. He wouldn’t have wanted the Panzers. He insisted on fast, reliable tanks, lots of them — and the Wehrmacht had none of those three things. Also, there was Air Supremacy.

      1. Always with the negative waves Moriarty, always with the negative waves.

        It’s a mother beautiful tank.

        Oddball.

    One could only hope…but.

    I was out with my Dad, working cattle, and we had a particularly useless horse we were riding that day. Said horse got caught in some fencing wire, and a 20 minute circus ensued getting the panicked animal freed. For all the thrashing about the horse didn’t have a scratch on him. My Dad looked at my Mom and said, “If he’d have been worth a damn, he’d have been crippled all to hell.”

    It seems to be hard to get rid of societies cockroaches, whilst the beneficial drop like rose petals. The megaquake is more likely to spare SF/Portland/Seattle and lay waste areas of useful people.

    God I’m a grouch.

  3. The Porsche ad is a classic case of Descartes Before the Horse, or “I am therefore, I think.”
    (Although Porsche’s recent foray into the EV world would indicate otherwise.)
