Apparently, Bette Midler caused something of a stir when in having a snit about Sen. Joe Manchin’s refusal to go along with the BBB lunacy, she said bad things about the people of West Virginia:
Left-wing Hollywood star Bette Midler has insulted the people of West Virginia, describing them as “poor, illiterate and strung out”
The response was immediate, and wonderful:

Like we didn’t have enough already…
A new snake species has slithered its way into the list of reptiles…
Key word: India
In June 2020, he posted a photo of a kukri snake — known for its curved teeth that resemble the Nepali dagger “Kukri”.
Oh how charming, fangs shaped like this:
Burn them with fire.

A week or so ago, I talked about the Great Resignation. Now the excellent City Journal has this to say about that:
Younger workers opting to work less or to put in only the minimum effort may pay a future price in terms of stagnation or downward mobility. Workers receive the most pay raises in their twenties and thirties. This is also when people acquire the skills and contacts that pay off for the rest of their careers. One’s early years are not an ideal time to stay away from work, even considering the challenges that today’s younger workers face. Some jobs are certainly harder than others—especially when you’re learning skills and occupy a low rung in the workplace hierarchy. But opting out early only makes it more likely that work won’t get better later on.
All true.
When I were a lad, I had the most appalling preteen crush on Sally Ann Howes — the actress who starred in the dreadful Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Her screen name was equally appalling, but in her case, it suited her perfectly because she was:
Truly Scrumptious
She died yesterday, age 91.
I’m not saying I applaud the actions below. But for some reason my Schadenfreude button got pushed, twice:
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) was carjacked at gunpoint in Philadelphia
…and:
Illinois Senate Majority Leader Kimberly Lightford (D) and her husband were victims of a carjacking Tuesday evening
I have no idea whether these two Democrat politicians are of the Leftist persuasion — although suburban Philadelphia and “Illinois Senate Majority Leader” in a liberal, near-Chicago suburban district are pretty good indicators that they are — and if they are supporters of the BLM movement and philosophy, then it’s always good to see the biters bitten, so to speak.
Like I said, I’m glad they weren’t injured; but to see our politicians the victims of the violent crime they sometimes turn a blind eye towards or even actively support — as long as it happens to others — is not a bad outcome.
Maybe they’ll think twice about their position the next time someone talks about enabling crime.
