From SOTI, talking about the recent Eurovision Song Contest:
The Palestinians sent a contestant, but the timer went off early and they were no longer available.

Quote Of The Day
Seen SOTI, addressed to all the pro-Hamas campers on college campuses:
Of course, that’s assuming that all the pro-Hamas protesters were students — which they weren’t.
Quote Of The Day
From Hugh Grant:
I say to one of my sons, “It’s disgusting to watch you eat those Cocoa Puffs. I mean, for God’s sake. You’ve just had three bowls, have you any idea what you’re doing to yourself?”
And then he says, “Do you want some?”
I go, “Yeah, absolutely.”
Priceless.
Quote Of The Day
From the late- and very-much-missed Rik Mayall (as Tory MP Alan B’stard):
“NHS waiting lists can be eradicated overnight by shutting down the health service, thereby killing poor people and wiping out poverty.”
Cruel? Yes. True? Also yes.
Quote Of The Day
I quote Insty a lot, I know, but at the end of it all, Glenn Reynolds is a very smart and wise man. Frankly (and I know he’s not interested, more’s the pity), our country needs him, and more like him, to be in a position of power rather than being a respected law professor at some university*.
Here’s what caught my eye recently:
“There was a time when I doubted the morality of Hiroshima, Tokyo, and Dresden. Watching the world today, I’m glad that our forebears had the courage and moral clarity that too many parts of our contemporary society lack.”
Asking for “moral clarity” in our current amoral power elite is far too big an expectation.
*I know, I know — to Glenn, UTenn isn’t just “some university”, but in relation to his stature, intellect and character, I’m afraid that to the rest of us, and to me in particular, it is.
Quote Of The Day
From Roger Kimball:
“Remember the ‘pipe bombs’ that were supposedly planted by ‘insurrectionists’ [on Jan 6 2020]? It turns out they were almost certainly dummy explosives planted by government agents.”
Yeah… funny how that investigation suddenly evaporated, and news reports thereof disappeared down Winston Smith’s memory hole tube.
By “funny” I mean like “watching your dog getting run over by a truck” funny.
Feel the burn…
