Responding to yesterday’s post about Glen Fohdry single malt, Reader Roy waxed rhapsodic about various single malt Scotches, ending with:
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I still like fine bourbon whiskey too.
…which reminded me of the old homo joke: “Women are okay, but they’re not like the real thing.”
I feel the same way about bourbon.
One-time F1 champion driver Kimi Raikonnen is famously bullshit-free; while driving for Ferrari a few years back, he got irritated by the constant stream of advice and orders coming over the radio from the pit wall team, and uttered the immortal line: “Leave me alone; I know what I’m doing.” He finished on the podium, driving a car that was truthfully speaking nowhere near the level of his competitors’.
And he’s back in the headlines today, posting this pic:
For those not in the know, that’s one-time F1 champion James Hunt in characteristic pose (missing only a pit bunny on his errr arm to make it completely accurate), while on the right is Mr. Woke, Lewis Hamilton.
Now the Hamilton fanbois are going to point out that whereas Hunt and Raikonnen only won the F1 championship once each, Our Lewis has won it six times. (In their defense: Hunt and Raikonnen won their respective championships driving cars that were charitably called “competitive” at the time, whereas Hamilton is driving a Mercedes which has outstripped all other cars by a wide margin, for the past four or five years at least.)
Whatever. Raikonnen is in the right, while Hamilton is left — far Left, with his BLM-kneeling and wokey T-shirts.
I wish Hunt were alive today: he’d piss all over that T-shirt, probably while Hamilton was still wearing it.
All the news that’s fit to shorten, like 5′ tall Kylie Minogue.

It’s become a fact of modern American life that whatever the Left accuses the Republicans (specifically Trump) of doing, the Left are either already doing, or plan to do themselves — what Glenn Reynolds often refers to as “projection”.
So, for example, the Republicans are “denying people the vote” by attempting to stop voter fraud, when in fact it’s the Left who are nullifying registered voters’ franchise by encouraging non-citizens to vote, or else busing people from poll station to poll station so that they can vote several times in the same election.
And of course, there’s the “Trump will refuse to leave office if he loses” trope — i.e. he won’t accept the result of the election, when in fact it’s the Left who won’t accept their loss:
A loss by Joe Biden under these circumstances is the worst case not because Trump will destroy America (he can’t), but because it is the outcome most likely to undermine faith in democracy, resulting in more of the social unrest and street battles.
(The article, by the way, is the biggest load of shit, but read it anyway — at least the asshole admits that the Left has no interest in accepting electoral loss.)
In presidential elections, once is a fluke; twice is a pattern. I struggle to imagine how, beyond utter shock, millions of Democrats will process a Trump victory. A loss for Biden, after having been the clear favorite all summer, would provoke mass disillusion with electoral politics as a means of change—at a time when disillusion is already dangerously high.
Thus, Trump’s first victory over the most unpopular candidate ever fielded by the Democrats was a “fluke”, and now, aided by skewed, inaccurate and dishonest polling that missed the entirety of Trump’s support in 2016, the “more popular” candidate losing will trigger dissatisfaction in the voting process? (Oh yeah… let’s hear it for “the Russians”, for whom even their own investigation — remember Robert Mueller’s little gang of hatchetmen? — couldn’t prove collusion with the Trump campaign.)
It couldn’t possibly be that American voters might reject the Left’s politics — how could it be, when the Left is inarguably so correct? After all, doesn’t everyone want open borders, sky-high taxes, a welfare state, a nationalized health system, disarmed citizens, diversity-led racist hiring- and education practices and redistribution of private wealth? (Those who don’t, of course, are EvilRaycissFascist Trumpalos, because without a class enemy, Marxism fails: time after time after time.)
No, it can’t be rejection: it must be the process. After Trump wins again in November (and assuming he doesn’t get a popular majority of the vote), expect a full-frontal assault on the Electoral College, with intimidation and threats directed at electors as well. And that’s just the political response.
If what this asshole (and many others) are telling us is correct, then in the event of a Biden-Harris loss in November we can expect not this:
…but this?
Let’s see how that plays out, shall we?
We conservatives may actually have to start living up to the Leftists’ depiction of us.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the range.
We all know that politicians lie like, well, Democrats; so it should come as no surprise to anyone that wannabe-POTUS Joe Hidin’ is talking bullshit again, albeit through surrogates:
Attempts to conceal and lie about Biden and Harris’s gun control positions are a tacit admission that the public does not want the gun control these candidates pursue. If such measures have the popularity their backers often pretend they do, there would be no need to obscure their goals. Rather, gun control advocates and politicians understand that they cannot succeed if they are forthright with the electorate about their extreme positions.
We all know that Biden, Harris and all the other assholes blabbed their loathing for guns during their party’s primary elections, and tried to outdo each other when boasting about how much they were going to fuck over gun owners, take away their AR-15s and so on.
I know that after the primaries, which exist to rally the faithful, candidates usually “tack to the center” for the general elections. Unfortunately (for these pricks), we all know what they have planned for us: California- and Australia- style laws and regulations designed to make gun ownership difficult and cumbersome, and (probably) gun registration and -confiscation. Are they promising all that? No, of course not: it’s all driven by “need”,
Simple replay to all this mendacity: fuck off, Sparky. No amount of reassurance from Biden and Harris are going to pull the wool over our eyes, so they might as well give it all up and run on the Gun Control & Confiscation ticket.
They’re going to get crushed whatever they do.
