Quote Of The Day

Mocking Furriners, QOTD

From Kurt Schlichter:

“Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners themselves. They think we’re dumb, New World rubes with too much in the way of guns, calories, and Jesus.

“In contrast, we barely think of them at all.”

And that’s only the beginning of his most excellent rant.  Read it all, and chortle.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From the DM’s Kennedy:

No one should lose a job – in the media or otherwise – for saying something that offends the government.
But that’s not what happened here.
Kimmel got canceled because he offended the American viewing public en masse. That’s just bad business.

Quite right.  To paraphrase The Godfather:  “It’s not personal:  it’s just business.”

And if your behavior angers customers — in this case, a TV show with already-appalling viewership — expect the hammer.

One might think that the Bud Lite and Cracker Barrel episodes should be enough of a warning signal to these tools.  But they’re lived for so long as a protected species that they doubtless think that the rules don’t apply to them.

Is there some of the old Schadenfreude  that they’re starting to learn differently?

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From John Hawkins:

“Preference falsification eventually leads to a preference cascade, and the worse the falsification, the more unapologetic the correction.”

Put another way:  build lies upon lies, and when the final straw comes, the back-breaking will be catastrophic (for the liars).

Quote Of The Day

Economics, Journalist Scum, QOTD

Whiny little Commie bitch TV interviewer:  “So just bottom line, Mr. Secretary, do you acknowledge that these tariffs are a tax on American consumers?”

SecTreas Scott Bessent:  “No, I don’t.  You’re quoting Goldman Sachs… I made a good career of trading against Goldman Sachs.”

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From the statuesque Bryony Gordon at the Daily Mail, talking about padel:

“The game has always struck me as tennis for those who can’t be bothered to learn tennis, but given our dwindling attention spans, it’s probably the perfect sport for our age.”

I always thought it was a cross between tennis (court and scoring system ), squash (playing off the walls) and table tennis (the bats).

It’s also gentler, takes up less space, and doesn’t require as much exertion as tennis or squash.  It really is the perfect non-sport for our silly age — which means it’s soon going to become an Olympic event.  (#SynchronizedSwimming)

“yeah, but why do you call Bryony Gordon ‘statuesque’, Kim?”
