Quote Of The Day

QOTD

In response to this lament:

“These kids never learned the proper way to be a barfly,” said an L.A. bartender, quoted in “Gen Z Doesn’t Want to Start a Bar Tab/To the chagrin of bartenders, many 20-something bargoers prefer to close out and pay after every single drink.”

That’s not the quote.  This is:

As with everything else in the New York Times though, I am going to default to “none of these discussions actually happened” and the “author” just made everything up.

The man’s almost as cynical as I am.

Sic transit mendax.

Quote Of The Day

Journalist Scum, QOTD

From Insty:

“In the past, there were periodic scandals about a journalist who was caught fabricating or massively distorting news: Janet Cooke, Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, Dan Rather, Katie Couric, Brian Williams. But the past four years have exposed virtually the entire industry reporting on the Beltway as repeated — and quite shameless — fabulists.”

Quote Of The Day

QOTD, Rights

From some Brit:

“I saw Starmer in the White House telling Trump we’ve had [freedom of expression] in the UK for a very long time, and I thought, ‘Yeah, right.’ We can see what’s really going on.”

Read this for an explanation of the above.  Then be grateful you don’t live there.  (To my several Brit Readers:  I’m sorry, folks.)

Quote Of The Day

Immigration, QOTD

From the Reform UK party’s first elected mayor, Andrea Jenkyns:

“I say no to putting [illegal immigrants] in hotels. Tents are good enough for [them in] France, they should be good enough for here in Britain.”

Her logic is irrefutable.

Of course, my suggestion (that the tent encampments should be located on uninhabited islands in the Outer Hebrides, far away from the British mainland) would no doubt be considered too Krool & Hartless, even by Dame Andrea.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From Steve Kruiser:

“Trump is also aware that there is no guarantee that the GOP will continue his work when this term is done, so he knows that he has to assume that making America great again is all on him. It would be nice to believe that he’s getting things moving in the right direction for years to come, but we have all met the Republican Party.”
