Glenn Reynolds:
“Why do the lefty media always have to puff people up into bogus heroes?”
Answer: because otherwise, their only heroes are murdering bastards like Stalin, Mao, Guevara, Lenin, Trotsky, Castro, Chile’s Allende and Venezuela’s Chavez (just off the top of my head; there are LOTS more).
Brit teenagers have just learned the final grades of their A-level studies (no exams because WuFlu), which are important because it helps determine much of their future prospects of getting a decent job, placement at universities (except as in the post below) and so on.
And then you have Clarkson’s take:
(The “U” basically says, “He did the exam”.)
He left out one detail, however:
The man is a national treasure.
From some medical bloke:
“You can still get COVID, potentially [after having been vaccinated]. But if you do get it, it’s not severe at all.”
As it happens, I was just chatting with Mr. Free Market yesterday, and he informed me that he’d been diagnosed with the Delta-‘Rona.
When I asked him what it was like, the answer was: “Rugby club hangover. Piece of cake.” (Translation: you feel like utter crap for about twenty four hours, then much better on day two, and by day three you’re back to swilling Ginger Macs, just with a bit of a cough — which is where he was when I spoke to him.)
In other words: it’s like a bronchial flu.
Carry on.
From Ann Coulter, talking about the Olympics:
Japanese enthusiasm for the Games is at the level of “I’d rather relive Nagasaki.”
LOL
SOTI:
“The Babylon Bee satirized this marking of the unvaccinated back in late March, so maybe they should just stop writing satire over there because a lot of it is coming true and it is possible that they’re giving our elites ideas.”
It would be even funnier if it might not be true.
From ZMan (via Uncle Mike):
The hard lesson America is about to learn is one that the Europeans never seemed to learn, despite plenty of opportunities. That is, diversity plus proximity must always end in violence. The internet age has brought every American into close contact with every other American. No one likes what they see in the other camps and increasingly no one thinks they can live near the other camp. The result is predictable.
And the final paragraph is equally bleak:
In the twilight of the West, it is only appropriate that the show will close with one last spasm of ideological warfare. If the antiwhite fanatics carry the day and erase white society from the book of life, they take themselves with it in what will be remembered as the great suicide of the West. If this is resisted and avoided, it will mostly likely require a degree of ugliness as yet unimagined. Either way, the great epoch of ideology will not end well.
Hello, the Balkan States of America.
