The Babylon Bee has put out an invaluable chart, allowing one to identify one’s disability, gender, race/creed, and a bonus attribute as well. They call it an “Oppression Identifier“. The combinations are hysterical! Click the image for a larger view. It’s taken from the Bee’s new book, “The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness“, which… Continue reading It seems I’m (not really!) a “buck-toothed transsexual quaker on stilts”…

Italian food will never taste the same again…
The celebrated McSweeney’s Internet Tendency has turned its satirical attention to the menu at Olive Garden, a chain of Italian-style restaurants in the USA, and re-written it in the style of horror doyen H. P. Lovecraft. Here are a couple of excerpts samples. Fried Calamari Tendrils crusted in grit assail my palate. Begotten of the… Continue reading Italian food will never taste the same again…
Saturday morning snippet: Time for a lot of laughs
Last week I came across two YouTube videos that had me rolling in the aisles. They’re compilations of the greatest moments of comedy from the Pink Panther movie series, starring the late Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, the bumbling detective who always creates mayhem and havoc, but somehow solves the crime anyway. The first… Continue reading Saturday morning snippet: Time for a lot of laughs
Saturday Snippet: It’s a hard life, being a prophet
I’ve long enjoyed Jewish humor for its self-deprecating light-heartedness, and its sometimes surprisingly deep insights into the heart and soul of people in general. There are many classics of the genre out there, and some have become very popular in the general community. David M. Bader is a Jewish author who’s definitely made the… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: It’s a hard life, being a prophet
I want one!!!
The Babylon Bee does it again. Popular New Ejection Porch Automatically Launches Vaccine Evangelists Into The Stratosphere An American manufacturer has been overwhelmed with preorders for its brand new “ejection porch,” which is specially designed to detect when Biden’s vaccine evangelists are at your door so it can launch them into the stratosphere. Dang! … Continue reading I want one!!!
The Babylon Bee hits another one out of the park
The satirists at the Babylon Bee are outdoing themselves these days – hence the strident attempts by those with no sense of humor to shut them down, or censor them, or do anything at all to stop them making fun of the perennially anal-retentive. Remember the NFL’s recent sickening politically correct kowtowing to Pride… Continue reading The Babylon Bee hits another one out of the park
The Babylon Bee hits one out of the park
I had to laugh out loud when I read this satirical, snarky “report”. Clever Texans have implemented a new strategy to stop Californians from fleeing their terrible state and ruining Texas with the same policies. Sneaking up to Oklahoma in the middle of the night, brave defenders of the Lone Star State installed “Welcome to Texas”… Continue reading The Babylon Bee hits one out of the park
Saturday Snippet: a fake nun in the Army in Northern Ireland
The late Australian author Russell Braddon was one of the most extraordinary writers to emerge from World War II. His prolific output includes “The Naked Island“, his world-famous and best-selling account of his experiences as a prisoner of war under the Japanese; “Cheshire VC“, a study of the wartime career and post-war conversion of one… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: a fake nun in the Army in Northern Ireland
Saturday Snippet: “The Night Life of the Gods”
Thorne Smith was an American satirical author who flourished in the first half of last century. Two of his books were made into successful Hollywood films, and his acerbic humor and biting wit made him a best-seller. Many of his books are still in print. One of my favorites among his novels is “The Night… Continue reading Saturday Snippet: “The Night Life of the Gods”
H. L. Mencken’s recipe for dealing with activist judges
Both sides of the political spectrum in the USA have from time to time expressed “reservations” (euphemism!) at the decisions of judges that affect causes, laws and activities which they support. Ninety-five years ago, H. L. Mencken had a suggestion on how to deal with them. To punish a judge taken in judicial crim. con.… Continue reading H. L. Mencken’s recipe for dealing with activist judges
