Apparently last week’s Funnies were too silly, so today we’ll go all cerebral, with historical references, brain teasers and stuff.
(this may become a series on this website)
And now some interfaith adorableness:
And an exercise in relativity:
Finally: also from last week, there were a few (hundred) moans about the modesty of the ladies’ clothing, so today we’ll make things just a tad racier:
Now off you go to work, and make your own party.
Try not to kill anyone.
Last weekend we looked at Bunny Yeager as a model. Today we’ll look at Bunny the photographer — and most notably at her most famous model, Bettie Page.
As Richard Corliss once described, Bettie had been the nadir of sexual exploitation:
In New York City, Page “starred” in tatty, furtive 8mm bondage loops (Dominant Betty Dances With Whip, Hobbled in Kid Leather Harness) that her Svengali, Irving Klaw, sold in plain brown wrappers at his Movie Star News shop. But in Miami, under Yeager’s congenial tutelage, Page bloomed as the girl next door with the bedroom shades up, or the beach bombshell with the seraphic grin. Between them, the Blond Bunny and brunette Bettie made nudity look both sexy and healthy.
And how:
Sensational.
There are millions of Bettie Page pics all over the Internet. But the good Bettie pics are mostly those taken by Bunny Yeager.
Everyone knows about French artist Eugène Delacroix, who painted so many works which later became iconic that his value to Fine Art (not to mention civilization) is pretty much unchallenged.
Liberty Leading The People
And yes, many feel that he was the bridge, artistically speaking, between Classical and Romantic art and is therefore Very Important:
Massacre At Chios
Me, I just like the way he painted women:
Mademoiselle Rose
Death of Sardanapelus
Medea About To Kill Her Children
Greece Expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi
Louis of Orleans Revealing His Mistress
Delacroix’s style, to my eyes anyway, changes from piece to piece, from Classical to Romantic to almost-Impressionist — all depending on the topic he’s depicting. Heck, the Louis of Orleans painting above is almost Rococo in its playfulness.
And considering that he lived and worked during the hidebound early nineteenth century, that is one hell of an achievement.
Barque of Dante
And why so many? Try this little tidbit:
...just sayin’.
Some Election 2024 News:
...read the article to see the truth about “Form EL-131”. Then feel the burn...
In Financial News:
...starve the fuckers.
And some International News:
...funny how Commie votes are always “unanimous”, isn’t it?
...let ’em eat bugs; the government apparatchiks, I mean.

In ShowBiz News:
...if they want to add more fantasy to Bond movies, they’ll have to bring in dragons and elves.
And in Health News:
...especially goblins.
…
...and the ad copy writes itself: “Better Woodies, Longer Life!”
From the anals [sic] of Wokedom:
...seems like it was consensual, so I can’t see the problem here. [j/k]
And from the front lines of Sex Wars:
...but of course, he’ll still be on the hook for child support.

And in some 
And strolling down 
:
...”thrills”, hey? Let’s have a look:
Yeah, I guess that’s kinda “thrilling” — and the end of the news.
One of the most pernicious insults to the concept of property rights is that so-called “squatters” (trespassers) are accorded “rights” to occupy a vacant building, simply because… well, I can’t actually think of any reason why this should be tolerated.
Which makes FuturePOTUS Ron DeSantis’s action even more praiseworthy:
DeSantis signed into law a unanimously-passed bill designed to combat so-called “squatters’ rights” and which puts the power back into the hands of law-abiding property owners and local law enforcement.
Compare and contrast this with the attitude of Commie states like California, New York and, for that matter, Britishland, where not only are squatters tolerated, but the actual property owners can get into deep legal doo-doo if they attempt to forcibly evict these trespassers — or worse:
Two squatters are being sought over the gruesome murder of a 52-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed in a duffel bag inside her late mother’s upscale Manhattan apartment last week, police said Thursday.
The victim, Nadia Vitel, was savagely beaten by the two perps when she discovered them holed up inside the 19th-floor apartment on East 31st Street last week.
Update: two “teenagers” have been arrested after they fled NYFC for Pennsylvania.
Fucking animals. And no prizes for guessing that various scumbag New York lawyers will be getting into fistfights over who can defend them in court.
If this story doesn’t put a grin on your face, we can’t be friends.
Seems like this high-school kid named Cameron Blasek flew a U.S. flag from a pole attached to his truck… whereupon some asshole official from his school told him to take it down.
And he refused. And then a dozen of his buddies also started flying Old Glory from their trucks.
Smiling yet?
Well, the fucking Commie school officials backed down, but not before this happened:
A graphic design company in Cincinnati reached out to Blasek after the viral story and offered to do the kid a favor and wrap his truck for free. And the design…
That’s it, boys: rub their fucking Commie noses in it.
