From Diogenes:
“It was especially enlightening to later hear a panel of four millennial black women, three of whom graduated from Ivy League schools, the fourth from USC, drone on about inequality and rampant racism in our collective capitalist system, full of white supremacy.”
Read the rest. It’s about CNN.
Via Insty:
Kelo comes to mind, and a couple others also dealing with property seizures. The big one, which if re-litigated now would result in its overturning, would be ObamaCare because the “tax” enforcement has now been annulled. Not even Roberts could save it.
From the normally mild-mannered Prof. Reynolds:
“Vegans should just be grateful for not being pantsed on sight. Veganism is stupid and immoral, and mostly a marker for mental illness or deficiency.”
True dat. He left out a lot of other endearing vegan traits, but the Treacher Man has his back:
“You just can’t please vegans, because if they were capable of happiness, they wouldn’t be vegans. You can’t cater to them — in this case literally — because their entire philosophy is anti-human. They’re ashamed of their own existence on this planet, and that shame has turned them into totalitarian wackjobs.”
I think I’ll just have one of New Wife’s beef pies for lunch, because I can.
SOTI:
“I only dump my load into anti-vaxxers, because 8 years of child support is better than 18.”
Now that’s someone who understands how to put the odds in your favor.
And speaking of toxic loads…
Taking these two items in tandem, I haven’t laughed so much since the neighbor lady got her tits caught in the spindryer.
Note: a fitting way to mark my 2,000th post since starting Splendid Isolation.

(Okay, I’m not quite sure he said it; but if he did, it’s accurate. /New York Times)
Heard on a radio show the morning after a tornado hit north Dallas and took out houses in Preston Hollow, a ritzy neighborhood:
“That area’s so exclusive, even the Fire Department’s phone number is unlisted.”
This happened about ten miles south of us, which sounds close but isn’t. (Plano seldom gets hit by violent storms, possibly because the insurance payouts would put the companies out of business. Worst that ever happened to our old Plano house was a tree getting decapitated in the front yard, and on another occasion, high winds driving the rain sideways into the roof, lifting shingles and causing a leak indoors.)
Night before last, the only thing that happened to us was a momentary power failure — enough to make my garage door opener lock up, and the electric security gate ditto. Enter manual labor (not mine, the Mexican maintenance team’s).
Oh, yeah: President Trump was in Dallas for a campaign stop a couple days ago, but the two events are probably coincidental, no matter what the Jackals Of The Press may say.
