…and now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the voting booth. I’ve been looking forward to this day for TWO YEARS.
And from Reader Termite, a timely reminder:
…just to be on the safe side, of course.

Here’s a fun little intellectual exercise:
Letting meat eaters drown is ethical because of the suffering they cause to animals, an Oxford University academic has controversially argued.
There’s nothing “controversial” about it. His only supporters are going to be rabid vegans, and other so-called intellectuals, whereas the rest of us would drive him from the village, pelting him with stones and rotten fruit on his way out. Apart from the chilling indifference, the application of such a judgmental credo in a life-or-death situation is not only awful but contrary to human nature. (One can only imagine the “HHHAAATTTERRRR!” abuse that would come my way if I were to suggest that letting vegans drown under similar situations would at least lower the shrillness of society’s ambient background noise…)
That said, if I came upon said asshole burning to death in the street, I might actually pause for a moment before pissing on him to extinguish the flames, so maybe I’m not much better than he is.
By the way, here’s another little intellectual exercise for you. Ignoring his nationality for a moment, do you think this bastard’s philosophy would be found more often in Democrat, or Republican voters?
Food for thought.
Boycott The Boycotters?
As far as I know, these are the advertisers who have “paused” their presence on Twatter since Elon Musk took over:
- Audi — can’t afford their overpriced cars anyway
- General Mills — so much for that weekly box of Cheerios in the cart
- General Motors — never on my list because crap cars and trucks
- Mondelez International (formerly Kraft [Snack] Foods)– never cared for Oreos, Triscuits, Ritz and TUC either. As for their chocolate brands, I can only see a problem with Cadbury (hello Lindt) and Fry’s — massive concern from New Wife, who loves their Turkish Delight
- Pfizer — pfuckem, not going to get another ‘Rona jab anyway
- Volkswagen — well, that’s a real stinker. As a lifetime buyer of VW cars, wagons and vans (7 or 8 so far), I guess I’ll just have to break the VW habit and look elsewhere for a replacement for the Tiguan when the time comes, as long as it’s not Chev or Audi (hello… Mazda?).
Also:
Advertising companies Interpublic Group—with clients like CVS and Nintendo—and Havas Media—whose clients include O2, Hyundai, and Domino’s Pizza—have recommended to their clients to pause paid advertising on Twitter, Forbes reported.
No more Rx from CVS, then (hello Wal-Mart or Kroger), and I’ve never been a user / consumer of the others.
One person (Yer Humble Narrator) can’t do much, it seems, when it comes to making these assholes pay for their wokedom. Let’s hope there are a lot more people who think the way I do.
And remember: not being a Twatter adherent myself, I actually care little about whatever happens to them. What gets up my nose is the Leftist reaction (note the players) to Musk’s avowed intent to make the company less stridently Left-wing and fervently anti-conservative. Maybe he should just fire more Twatter employees as a result of lowered ad revenue.
Quote Of The Day
From the South African Minister of Education, Angela Motshekga:
The statement is positively Bidenesque…
Some of the comments underneath are priceless:
Memorandum
To: Ex-POTUS Donald Trump
From: All Conservative Voters
Re: This Bullshit:
Action Required (by you):
Shut the fuck up.
Supporting argument #1:
Ron DeSantis has been more effective in addressing the illegal immigration crisis as Florida’s governor than you were as POTUS (yeah, we know, the asshole House Republicans etc. etc.). Don’t care. Sending illegal immigrants to the Blue “sanctuary cities” is pure genius (yeah, we know, Texas started it etc. etc.).
Supporting argument #2:
In a straight-up contest between DeSantis and any Democrat (e.g. Gavin Newsom), DeSantis wins by a mile. You? Not so much. In a straight-up contest between DeSantis and you? That’s the purpose of the primary; let the voters decide. Just remember: the NeverTrump nonsense, while nonsense, is nevertheless a thing. There’s no such thing as “NeverRon”, unless you start it. And speaking of the primaries:
Supporting argument 3:
Heed the words of Ronald Reagan: “Speak no ill of another Republican.”
Conclusion:
Save your clever-dick bullshit for the Democrats; leave DeSantis alone.
News Roundup – Pre-Election Day Special
Brought to you by:
Today’s news to help you get through tomorrow:
...ain’t gonna work, assholes. Antifa riots, BLM riots, Supreme Court intimidation, defunding cops, horrible foreign policy, an uncontrolled “open” border, worshipping the Green agenda (leading to high gas prices, diesel shortages and ending with uncontrollable inflation), FBI/DHS/IRS thuggery, child abuse in public schools, harassing parents, Marxist propaganda — these and oh so many more all bear YOUR fingerprints: and we know it.
...well, he would, wouldn’t he? [/Mandy Rice-Davies]
...because, “Light-Bringer”, we know the fucking truth.
...and in latest news from Mt. St. Helens...
...you mean “threat of widespread rioting by the Left when the elections go against them and they lose the House and Senate”. No? If not that, then there is no “heightened threat”.
...actually, that’s true of every issue, not just border security.
...don’t need any stupid poll to tell us that.
...yeeeeaaaarrrrgh, baby. Dream on.
...and I know one family which has lost 70% of theirs since Biden was elected.
And in NON-POLITICAL INSIGNIFICA:
And in a special pre-election FAKE NEWS (ergo also no links) section:
...but if at first glance your heart skipped a beat out of joy, join the club.
...sounds a little desperate, doesn’t she?
...why else do you think he ran for office when he had absolutely no chance?
...just another day in Bidenville.
...no man should.
Finally, some totty that should help you on Erection Day. This is someone named Diana Vickers:
Right, that should give you all the advice and support you need for tomorrow.
