A BBC report “suggests that Stonehenge once served as a solar calendar”. (Image courtesy of Wikipedia) That’s hardly a new discovery. Flanders and Swann were making jokes about it in the 1950’s! Ah, good old British humor. It’s still some of the funniest stuff out there. Peter

The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization
I hate to admit how much I occasionally sometimes often resemble this cartoon in the way I clean up my office and around the house. Click the image to be taken to a larger view at the Web page of The Devil’s Panties. If you aren’t already reading The Devil’s Panties, it’s one of… Continue reading The Devil’s Panties school of domestic reorganization
A parental advisory from Lawdog
Our good friend Lawdog posted this warning on MeWe a couple of days ago. I re-post it here, with his permission. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: Anytime someone who is not a blood relative tells your child, “You can’t tell your parents about this” that should be an immediate red… Continue reading A parental advisory from Lawdog
Rep. Thomas Massie for the win
Two spot-on tweets from the representative for Kentucky’s 4th Congressional district. Click either image for a larger view. Short, pithy and to the point. I wish more politicians would follow his example, and be as realistic about current events. Now that more than half the Members of the Canadian Parliament have voted to support Prime… Continue reading Rep. Thomas Massie for the win
Starting the day with a smile
Received this from reader D. N. 1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison. 2. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it. 3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight. 4. It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like… Continue reading Starting the day with a smile
Heh
Cartoonist Stephan Pastis hits another home run. Click the image to be taken to a larger version at the “Pearls Before Swine” Web page. After 2020 and 2021, that may be an entirely appropriate New Years card for 2022! Peter
“I don’t need a gun. You need a gun because of men like me.”
My thanks to Miguel at Gun Free Zone for republishing this gem from an earlier Facebook conversation. A couple years ago I was working security at a bar in northern Virginia. I overheard a table of college kids arguing about gun rights and gun control and it was getting far too emotional so I… Continue reading “I don’t need a gun. You need a gun because of men like me.”
“Bad Science, Bad Faith”
That’s the title of an article by David Cole, in which he analyzes what’s gone wrong with the “Trust science!” school of governance that we’ve had thrown at us ad nauseam for the past couple of years. Here’s an excerpt. The public’s relationship with science should, ideally, be governed by what’s known as “good-faith… Continue reading “Bad Science, Bad Faith”
Heh
A reader sent me a link to a Tumblr post in which a user asked this question: I recall at least one of you guys having worked with livestock animals. Why are cows so damn indestructible while horses keel over and die if mercury is in retrograde or a dog barked in Kazakhstan? The… Continue reading Heh
Dream on…
Shamelessly stolen from Eaton Rapids Joe: Joe comments: “Presumably, this means they will only loot Black and other minority owned businesses.” It’s a nice thought, but… one suspects not. Peter
