Colonel Sanders must be spinning in his grave like a dynamo…

  At first I couldn’t believe this report wasn’t a joke – but as I read and re-read it, I realized that yes, some people are indeed that stupid.  I bet Colonel Sanders never even dreamed of something this daft! The US Food and Drug Administration is warning against a social media challenge which involves… Continue reading Colonel Sanders must be spinning in his grave like a dynamo…

He’s become a semi-permanent feature of the road network . . .

  It seems a protester (apparently in France?) decided that supergluing himself to the road wasn’t good enough.  (He may have been assisted in coming to that conclusion by what happened to a previous protester who did that.)  Be that as it may, he affixed himself to the road surface with instant cement.  The police… Continue reading He’s become a semi-permanent feature of the road network . . .

An acute failure of the victim selection process

  It seems that over the past weekend, a number of Antifa cells/chapters/whatever decided to demonstrate against the Honky Tonk Bar in Salem, OR because they heard it was going to host “an anti-open-borders event”. It seems the Honky Tonk Bar is sometimes patronized by large groups of (equally large) bikers, whose philosophy of life… Continue reading An acute failure of the victim selection process

Doofus Of The Day #1,091

  Today’s award goes to two “local diversity advocates” in Arizona, who forgot to engage their brains before putting their mouths in gear. This week, an ASU instructor, and a librarian, who hold themselves out as being Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) gurus, falsely accused a Black DJ of wearing blackface during a charity event… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,091

Senator Lindsey Graham is a purblind idiot

  As evidence, I offer his tweet yesterday: He’s openly calling for the assassination of a foreign head of state. Let me say that again.  A United States Senator is openly calling for the assassination of a foreign head of state. If a foreign politician of equivalent stature were to call for the assassination of… Continue reading Senator Lindsey Graham is a purblind idiot

Compare and contrast: two competing visions of what the US military should be

  The first is from retired Marine Lieutenant-General Greg Newbold, who analyzes what he calls “Critical Military Theory“. Many Americans, particularly our most senior politicians and military leaders, seem to have developed a form of dementia when it comes to warfare. The result is confusion or denial about the essential ingredients of a competent military… Continue reading Compare and contrast: two competing visions of what the US military should be

Doofus Of The Day #1,088

  Yes, it’s another Doofus – two of them, in fact – in rapid succession to yesterday’s one. Today’s first award goes to journalist, bureaucrat, analyst and unsuccessful politician Juliette Kayyem.  Yesterday she tweeted about the truck blockade by Canadian drivers: I hate to have to break this to Ms. Kayyem, but how does she… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #1,088
