Now that the dust has settled, I can report one observation from World Gin Day:
After a certain consumption level of gin, your keyboard turns to liquid.
At least, that’s how it felt to me. Your mileage may vary.

Quote Of The Day
“On Saturday and particularly Sunday, I heard people saying all over, ‘Hey, there’s no police anywhere, police ain’t doing nothing’. “
Which of course led to rioting, looting and all-round entertainment, the most violent day since the 1960s, except that this time, the welfare offices were surprisingly untouched.
Note that the above quote came from that idiot Southside priest who wants to ban all guns except those held by the police. Don’t expect him to change his views, though.
Replacement
I see that the Usual Suspects are demanding the removal of all those Rebel hero statues in Tennessee. But where it gets funny is that they’re talking about replacing them with “real” Tennessee heroes — or in this case, a heroine: Dolly Parton.
Now, I have to say, the idea has a certain appeal. I mean… Dolly?
[sigh]
The problem, of course, is that dues-paying members of the Insane Clown Posse are also the feminazis, to whom a statue featuring Dolly’s ummm assets would be yet another victory for the Eeevil Drooling Patriarchy or some such bullshit. Which means that Dolly’s “approved” statue would be more likely to look something like this:
…for a twofer, in that the Extremist Muslim Asshole Mob would also be appeased by the covering up of The Whore Parton’s body. Ugh.
I think I’ll just post another pic or three of Dolly, just to make us all feel better.
Yeah, the hell with that old Klansman, Nathan Bedford Forrest; in fact while we’re about it, let’s dynamite that stupid Statue Of Liberty, and put up a Statue Of Dolly, using that last pic as a model. Because if that pose doesn’t say “Welcome!”, nothing does.
I Don’t Think So, Scooter
Now we hear the following breathless announcement:
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warned on Friday that another lockdown might be necessary if the country suffers a “dramatic” rise in coronavirus infections.
They’ll soon discover that what they think is a “dramatic” rise is not what we think it is.
I’ve got news for you “experts” and government types: if you think that “civil disobedience” is an abstract concept or an impossibility in this country, try pulling that shit on us again.
And the harder you push us, the harder we’ll push back. If you go full aggro on us (and you should never go full aggro), the result will make the current BLM / Pantifa riots look like a Sunday school picnic.
You heard it here first.
Unexpected
Yup, this is going to end well:
The NYPD’s elite anti-crime units — plainclothes teams that focus on gun arrests and stopping violent crimes that’ve been dogged by accusations of using heavy-handed tactics in brown and black communities — are officially a thing of the past.
The high-risk units — one for each of the city’s 77 police precincts and nine Police Service Areas that cover public housing — will be disbanded and all 600 cops reassigned, the city’s top cop announced Monday.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said he personally made the decision to banish the units, which have been responsible for a “disproportionate” number of shootings and misconduct complaints made against the NYPD in their decades-long history.
Ummm the reason that the unit is responsible for a “disproportionate” number of shootings is because they’re actually fighting crime, and not that part of the force writing fucking parking tickets. It’s like complaining that SEAL teams use a disproportionate number of rounds in combat, when they are actually out killing fuzzies instead of pushing guard duty on Stateside bases.
And the reason these cops are also responsible for a “disproportionate” number misconduct complaints is because a) they often have to make life-or-death decisions in milliseconds and b) because the Dindus they come up against on a daily basis have relatives who think their choirboy sons are innocent lil’ chilluns, and the cops are the bad guys.
To coin a phrase: let New York City sink.
I can’t remember how many of my Readers actually live in that shithole, but if there are any… guys, you need to get real and GTFO, before it gets real on you. Remember this?
With the disbanding of the anti-crime units, it’s gonna get worse — much worse.
Quote Of The Day
Longtime Friend and Ex-Drummer Knob and I were swapping texts about the resumption of the Formula One season — we’re both keen fans thereof — and amidst all the talk about Vettel staying at Ferrari and what-have-you came this priceless line from Knob:
“If they all kneel at the first race, I switch off.”
This kind of echoes God-Emperor Trump’s attitude:
President Donald Trump criticized American sporting organizations for making steps to allow players to kneel in protest during the national anthem.
“I won’t be watching much anymore!” Trump wrote, sharing an article reporting the United States Soccer Federation repealed a rule banning players from kneeling during the national anthem.
But hey… if the various sports’ controlling bodies want to piss in their own soup, who are we to stop them?
I think they’ve forgotten that sport is actually a non-essential commodity — i.e. you no likee, you switchee offee — and they’ll pay the penalties for their arrogance.
