In an otherwise decent article, Brandon Morse writes this howler:
“In today’s society, emotion is increasingly valued over logistical thinking.”
Really? Emotion is placed higher than thinking about how to move stuff from one place to another?
IT’S “LOGICAL“, NOT “LOGISTICAL“, YOU FECKLESS, ILLITERATE MORON.
JHC… it’s way too early to have yet another gin, but WTF.
Ah yes, it’s time for the Grand National at Aintree, Liverpool. And as always, the Scouser Train Smash Brigade was much in evidence:
Amazingly, some looked halfway decent:
…by Aintree standards, that is:
And then came Ladies’ Day, oh yes it did:
Observe this one:
…and realize that she came as part of a matched pair:
Body adornment there was a-plenty:
And I think that someone thought that just dressing as a woman qualified:
…kinda hard to tell these days. though.
And then towards evening, the booze started flowing:
…an aria from Carmen, no doubt.
There are more, so many more… but you’ll have to follow the links above to see the complete awfulness, if you have the stomach for it. The ones I’ve loaded are the best.
Aintree never fails us, does it?
I see that BritPM Boris Johnson has decided to try and save Britain from future electricity shortages by opening seven new nuclear reactor plants.
And better yet, this is happening against rising resistance towards the unreliable, inefficient and costly wind farms.
I’m hoping out next Republican president adopts the same action here, even though it would take decades to implement because of all the stupid regulations the things have to get past in order to get made — and I would also hope that a Republican Congress would work to get rid of most of said regulations.
I also want Tinkerbell to sprinkle magic dust on my lottery tickets, but that discussion can wait for another time.
There’s this new thing you see, and:
Hoards of Amazon shoppers have revealed stick-on blackout blind is helping their babies and toddlers sleep effortlessly
…as opposed to “hordes”.
Death to SpellChek, and whippings for its inventor(s).
In the wake of the non-event of one Black dude bitchslapping another Black dude for making fun of his wife on a live TV show that nobody was watching, we get this wail:
Today, every comedian in the U.S. is on Facebook making nervous jokes about the likelihood of Will Smith copycats walking on stage and walloping a comic over a joke that hurt their little feelings.
So? Fight back. Perform while wearing sap gloves or a knuckleduster. Make a baseball bat part of your routine.
Pepper spray, stun guns, will all work, but no real guns — that might be seen as a bit extreme, and probably with some justification.
Now, I have to say that if fistfights on stage are going to be a regular feature of Oscar Nights, I might even be tempted to watch the foul event, especially if Robert De Niro gets his ass kicked or Mark Ruffalo gets a few teeth knocked out.
Or, if that’s too violent, why not “MUD WRESTLING !!! Featuring Christina Hendricks and
Salma Hayek !!!”
I’d watch that, you betcha.
I speak here of so-called comedian (comedienne? I’m never sure) Whoopi Goldberg (real name: Caryn Elaine Johnson) who culturally appropriated a Jewish surname in order, one assumes, to get ahead in show business.
‘Twas this same Whoopi who declared on the TV bitchfest a.k.a. The View that in her opinion, Jill Biden should be nominated as Secretary of Health Services, “because she a doctor” — when anyone without terminal ignorance would have known that Mrs. Biden’s doctorate was not in Medicine (M.D.) but in Education, surely the lowest intellectually-ranked PhD outside Womyn’s Studies.
This ignorance has been extended yet again, when Our Caryn Whoopi:
…called on the royal family to “apologize” for slavery
Would it be crass to inform Whoopi that Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s (oops) His Majesty King William IV’s Government outlawed slavery in 1833*? And that future King Charles III and after-him William V have both offered royal apologies for their country’s use of slavery, several times in fact?
In the (paraphrased) words of South African protest singer Koos Kombuis**, “How much longer do we have to say we’re sorry?”
Someone should ask Ms. Johnson Goldberg et al. that very question — but the answer would undoubtedly be “FOREVER!” because otherwise who would the race hustlers have to blame for their shortcomings?
*In terms of European monarchies, the first to outlaw slavery was Denmark in 1803, followed by The Netherlands in 1814, Spain in 1817 and Greece in 1818.
**It’s a pity that Koos sings almost exclusively in Afrikaans, because his lyrics are at once savage and hysterically funny. He and I are not related, and he’s only two weeks older than I am.
