…and every time a fresh unprovable accusation is made against Kavanaugh, I’ll print another one of these.
I may need a bigger blog.

Truism
“You may make a bad mistake; the company you work for can make an even worse mistake; but to really screw things up, you need government.”
Kim’s Corollary:
“…and the higher the level of government, the exponentially-greater the mistake will be.”
Hence the recent pronouncement which basically states that absolutely everything the fucking federal government has ever told you about health and nutrition, is wrong. Not just wrong, but catastrophically wrong.
As I’ve said countless times before: I longer believe anything the government — any level of government — tells me, whatever the topic.
And if we want to wander into the Tinfoil Hat Forest ever so slightly, we may note that in the above case, the beneficiaries of said bad governmental advice have been the pharmaceutical companies who, incidentally, hire lobbyists and donate barrow-loads of money to politicians.
Protip: if you ever look at the “Department” subheadings under my post title, and see the words “Advice” and “Gummint” appearing simultaneously, you’ll have fair warning as to where the post content will be going.
Petulant Assholes
Still thinking about that elderly Brit who shot a local bureaucrat who’d come to have the old guy’s “illegal” cottage torn down, when I saw this cheery little snippet from Toronto:
A man spent his own money on building some stairs so elderly people could climb up this steep path. However, he fell foul of officials who tore them down.
Note the price difference:
I’d say more, but I first have to wait for the Red Curtain Of Blood (RCOB) to subside in my eyes. In the meantime, some kind soul should put a pot of tar on to boil and gather the feathers… I’ll oil the rope
Terms Of Endearment
First we were a “basket of deplorables” (Hillary Bitch Clinton), and now we’re the “dregs of society” (Joe Fondler Biden).
I wish they’d make up their minds.
To us, of course, they are (and always will be) “Communist motherfuckers”.
Reaction Part 1
Sometimes I wonder when I’m ever going to lose the childish impulse to react in the precise opposite way to officially-mandated stupidity. Here’s one example of the latter:
Los Angeles would become the largest city in the U.S. to ban the sale of fur products if the City Council approves a proposed law backed by animal activists who say the multibillion-dollar fur industry is rife with cruelty.
The council was expected Tuesday to direct the city attorney to draft a law prohibiting the manufacture or sale of fur products in the city.
The ban would cover apparel made in whole or in part of fur – including clothing, handbags, shoes, hats, earmuffs, jewelry and keychains.
I don’t live in LA, of course, nor would I ever; but if I did, I’d be buying one of these things tomorrow:
The paws are a nice touch, don’t you think?
I don’t know where I could wear it in order to create the greatest outrage, however; perhaps some of my California Readers could suggest a few choice locations (e.g. Century City) in Comments?
Quote Of The Day
“Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel has come up with a great way to save lives — he just announced he won’t seek re-election. ” — Mark Simone
It says something that I, an admitted lover of Chicago, have had several second thoughts about visiting the place during the Emanuel Years because of safety concerns.
