First, our Kiddie Joke Of The Day:
And now the grownup stuff:
…me too.
There ya go! Who said Australians have never contributed anything to Western civilization?
..ah, the old “SpellCheck” excuse…
Now get outta bed, because Nigella’s waiting for you in the kitchen with your brekkie:
This is close to being the final detritus swept from my various picture folders. I can’t remember most of their names, so you’ll just have to do the search thing if you’re at all interested. Most are Brit “celebrities”, or else just random things who have caught my fancy as I scour the Internet for stuff I’d rather not talk about right now. Enjoy.
This one is some Canadian TV presenter, I think: 
Tomorrow we’ll return to seditious ill-tempered rants, guns, gas-guzzling cars and similar evil stuff — in other words, it’ll be back to normal
And the American Battlefield Trust’s video of same (you may actually want to watch this first).
No need to thank me, it’s all part of the service.
Increasing irrelevant, perhaps leading to the conclusion that “News Roundup” may just be renamed “INSIGNIFICA” in the future.
…good old Mother Nature to the rescue. Now if these microbes could just evolve to eat Communists…
…LOL that Austrians are revolting against fascism, of any kind.
…if it did, the National Front would have been the ruling party for the last two decades.
…clearly, the producers have decided that viewing audience size is irrelevant to a movie’s commercial success.
…although it’s a pub (a Good Thing) it should have been a storehouse for guns and ammo… oh wait, it’s in Britishland. Nemmind.
…I wonder where he got that idea, that even criminals hate kiddie-fondlers?
…key word: Pakistan.
…I don’t know what “bodies” means in the current vernacular, but I do know that “Elizabeth Warren” and “big meat” should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
…he’ll be acquitted if the jury consists of men over 65.
…the number “25” no doubt arrived at through scientific study, rather than government pulling an arbitrary number out their ass.
Which leads us inexorably into INSIGNIFICA:
And the ultimate INSIGNIFICA:
“Arise, Sir Lewis.” What a load of old bollocks.
Finally:
…as an employment tip for my female Readers.
From Taki:
When the commies blew up my father’s factories following the war—he had shut them down for four years—he came to America and became a shipowner. Little ole me followed a few years later.
The place was paradise for the haves and close to paradise for the have-nots. It now reminds me a bit of immediate postwar Europe.
A place full of violent men seeking retribution, displaced persons complaining of having gotten a raw deal, and opportunist politicians seeking to gain an edge.
And it’s all Thomas Jefferson’s fault.
Sounds about right.
While I’m typically kitted out with a capable 9mm, on some occasions I’ve run errands with little more than a .38 snubbie in a jacket or coat pocket. And I used to carry one in the console of my car for my “extra” piece.
Not any more, and I’ll tell you why: it surely seems like a sole attacker today is the exception, not the rule.
All sensible arguments. I have to admit to subconsciously feeling the same way every time I run over to the booze store or 7-11 with only my S&W 637 on my hip, even though I have two speedloaders handy, and can reload reasonably quickly.
Admittedly, the above condition accounts for maybe 10% of my trips away from the house; for the rest, it’s the 1911 with two spare mags. But I’m thinking that “90%” should become “all the time”, because if I’m caught inside a store during a flash mob looting spree, even only eight shots of .45 ACP beats five rounds of .38+P, and reloading another eight is far quicker than reloading another five — not to mention the “New York reload” option of just drawing the backup 637 instead of reloading another mag into the 1911…
Choices, choices…
Corollary thought: unless you live in the boonies, the old Swiss K31 or Mosin carbine is not going to cut it as a trunk gun. During a situation of mob violence in a suburban / urban setting, it looks as though it’s SKS time…
