“I Want To Drive It Fast”

Drive Time

Our girl Nicole discovers what happens when you strap a 450hp Lotus engine to a skateboard.

And she has several Big Moments.

In a recreation of one of my favorite cars of all time.

(You may want to turn your speakers down if you’re watching this in company, or at work.  Otherwise, stick on the lids and crank it up, like she did.)

Sadly, I think my time has passed to enjoy driving a car like this… although I sure would like to test that hypothesis.

Thoughts On The Maduro Business

Crime, Law and Order

Look, I’ll come right out and say that if anyone needs to be kidnapped at dead of night and black-bagged on board a U.S. Navy ship to face a trial for all sorts of unspeakable bastardy, that Commie rat VenezPres Nicky Maduro would rest comfortably in the top ten.

What amazes me is that with all the domestic bastardy we have right here in the U.S. of A., why does it seem to be easier to arrest someone in South America than to do the same to, oh, Somalian fraudsters, Congressional thieves… and ne’er-do-wells like [pause to take a deep breath]  George Soros, Barack Obama, Eric Swalwell, Ilhan Omar, the Clintons etc. etc. etc.?

In other words, can we at least start to get some of the well-known local assholes into orange jumpsuits before venturing into furrin countries?

Because — and here’s a parallel thought — I have to say that unless the DOJ has some serious goods on Maduro, and by this I mean evidence of actual crimes that he has committed against U.S. citizens, I’m profoundly uneasy that we can just grab the leader of a foreign state, bring him Over Here and book him.  (I know, there’s the Noriega Precedent for this kind of thing.)

I mean, what’s BritPM Keir Two-Tier Starmer?  Chopped liver?  Surely he should have been ahead of Maduro on the list of kidnappees?  [pause to let the storms of applause from my Brit Readers die down]

And if we’re going to nab Maduro for shipping the eeeevil droggs to the U.S., what about the Mexican drug exporters?  (Okay, maybe they’re better-protected than Maduro, but still.)

All that said, if one of the end goals of this action is to make the other South American assholes (like that Colombian Commie tool) uneasy about their future prospects, then I can see why Generalissimo Trump dun wot he dun.

News Update Update

Bad News

That’s not a typo.

Over time, I’ve found that the weekly News Update has started to consume more time than I think it’s absolutely worth.  (If you disagree, and can’t see your life continuing with any meaningful existence without it, feel free to let me know.)

Basically, the Updates are a way for me to poke fun at what passes for “news” these days, especially so when I edit a headline to point out, for example, that the appalling Kim Kardashian has once again flashed her massive tits/ass to gain yet more attention for her clothing line.

But if I add up the total effort required to produce such an item — finding an article worth including, saving the headline (sometimes as a pic), saving the link thereto, making a pithy (thorry) comment, and multiplying that by 15 or so — it comes out to well over a couple days’ work (albeit spread out over a week).

I don’t mind spending that amount of time — or more — on writing a decent post on a topic which has captured my attention.  But to do all that work for a post which is eminently skimmable… I think you get my point.

So unless I hear differently from y’all (via email or comments, for those lucky enough to still be able to do the latter, don’t get me started), I think that the News Updates are going to become a thing of the past.

The only part I might consider keeping is the link-free , because that’s usually genuinely funny on occasion.

What you might see in its place is a series of stand-alone posts like this one:

Snow closes British schools and roads on first day back after Christmas as temperature plunges to -9.3C in south and warnings for ice and blizzards cover UK

Total time needed to create:  about 45 seconds, including the pic creation.  And there’s no link, because who the hell cares about the details?

Let me know what you think.  (And yes I know, it’s free ice cream to do with what I want;  but the reason for this website is twofold:  a rant vehicle for Kim, and entertainment for my long-suffering Readers.  Both are important.)
