I came across this quotation from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s detective hero, Sherlock Holmes, on MeWe. Click the image for a larger view. I wonder how we could get our politicians, journalists and influencers to absorb the truth of that statement? When push comes to shove, I reckon a huge proportion of our present… Continue reading Sherlock Holmes for the win

Quote of the day
Watching the chaos being unleashed on this country by the Biden administration, it’s hard to keep one’s cool. Consider: Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are being not just admitted to this country willy-nilly, but actively encouraged to cross our borders. The Federal Reserve is creating trillions of dollars out of thin air with no… Continue reading Quote of the day
Quote of the day
(A tip o’ the hat to Diogenes’ Middle Finger for bringing it to our attention.) From the Would-Be Galactic Emperor, blogging at My Planet, My Rules: If you gather enough truly stupid people together in the same place, the resulting flash from the explosion of asshole can be seen in distant galaxies. Of course,… Continue reading Quote of the day
Pest control for politically correct times…
I found this on MeWe, which unfortunately won’t let me link to the post in question. I’ve no idea of its origin, but it made me laugh, so I thought you might enjoy it, too. Click the image for a larger view. Political correctness as an aid to exterminating ants . . . does… Continue reading Pest control for politically correct times…
“Efforts to castrate hippos are not as easy as you would think”
That’s the sub-headline to an article in the Washington Post that had me laughing out loud. I’m an old Africa hand, after all. I know just how deadly dangerous hippopotami can be – I’ve written about it before. However, it seems Colombia has not (yet) learned that lesson. In the 1980s, drug kingpin Pablo… Continue reading “Efforts to castrate hippos are not as easy as you would think”
He who dies with the most toys, still dies!
Stephan Pastis points that out with tongue in cheek in yesterday’s “Pearls Before Swine” comic strip. Click the image to see a larger version at its Web page. That does seem to be a very American response to emergencies: “Let’s buy things to keep us alive!”. Sadly, most of us never bother to learn… Continue reading He who dies with the most toys, still dies!
Smoking while wearing a mask???
Found on MeWe, a blast from the past (clickit to biggit): I can almost see Dr. Fauci (along with every other Karen in the country) having a hernia looking at that! If only . . . (Of course, if it was a marijuana cigarette poking through the mask, that would probably be OK, because… Continue reading Smoking while wearing a mask???
No s***, Sherlock!
From Matt Bracken on Gab earlier this morning: After seeing how many state politicians used the COVID-19 “crisis” as an excuse to override constitutional limitations on their powers and seize ever-greater control, that’s pretty much a given. They got away with murder – literally – in 2020. How bad will it get in 2021?… Continue reading No s***, Sherlock!
“You don’t need evidence if bullies chase down the witnesses”
Scott Adams puts his finger on the crux of the election imbroglio in this short, but very to-the-point video clip. That’s it exactly. When you have that sort of bullying, captured on tape, explicitly shutting out one side from the vote tallying process, the assumption must be that the process was flawed, biased and… Continue reading “You don’t need evidence if bullies chase down the witnesses”
Gaslighting in America
Author, blogger and friend in meatspace and cyberspace, Michael Z. Williamson, has put up an excellent article at MeWe about gaslighting and how it’s become commonplace in America today. I can’t link directly to the article, because MeWe doesn’t provide such links, but if you want to read it, go to his timeline there… Continue reading Gaslighting in America
