So Much For Compassion
Okay, you would truly have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this one:
A theatre in Paris which is known for its radical shows and exhibitions has been occupied by more than 250 African migrants after they were let in for a free event five weeks ago.
The Gaîté Lyrique theatre in Paris staged the conference, entitled Reinventing the welcome for refugees in France, on December 10.
It involved talks hosted by academics from top universities and Red Cross officials, and saw activists welcome in the migrants.
But when the conference was finished, the migrants, who mainly come from France’s former west African colonies, refused to leave the venue.
Still occupied, the leftist theatre now faces going out of business after weeks without revenue from ticket sales, and has had to cancel all performances until at least January 24.
Its management said in a statement last week that the number of people taking shelter in the theatre is ‘continuing to increase’ and has swelled to around 300 people.
Who could have seen this coming? Raise your hands…
Oh… everyone, huh? [exit, howling with laughter]
Comment Of The Day
From Longtime Reader GT3Ted:
“The Lottery is a Tax on the people were not paying attention in math class.”
Absolutely, except for one small quibble.
It’s only a tax when you are compelled by government to pay it, at gunpoint. Last time I looked, buying a lottery ticket was voluntary.
It’s also therapeutic. In my case, it prevents me from using my AK-47 outside the shooting range every day (if you get my drift).
Cheap at the price.

This one’s named Monica Barbaro (no, never heard of her either), but she plays Jan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic.
That ol’ Commie Joan Baez can only dream of ever looking this good.
Reversing The Disgusting
Among the oh-so many idiocies perpetrated by FJB’s executive orders, was this one, which overturned one of Trump’s (45):
Biden Purges Non-Partisan US Commission On Fine Arts In Unprecedented Move Against Popular Classical Architecture
So one would hope that among the blizzard of new Executive Orders from Trump (47), one will be to reinstate the original, which mandated that new Federal buildings look more like this:
…than like this:
And so say all of us.

For those interested in joining me for the above, here are the details.
So far, about half a dozen people have expressed interest in said activity, so I’m going to reserve about four or five lanes when I go over there later today.
Please note the rules for the range, as per the above link.
Also, we may do a festive brunch / lunch afterwards, depending on interest.
