I guess that’s one way for doctors to stay current…

  Looks like Ireland is still crazy. Doctors in Ireland had to remove 50 AA and other “cylindrical” batteries from the body of a 66-year-old woman who had swallowed them all on purpose, a recent article in the Irish Medical Journal says. When doctors at St. Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin first examined the woman,… Continue reading I guess that’s one way for doctors to stay current…

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 right, of course: “woke” is a lie from start to finish

  Victor Davis Hanson brings the smackdown to “woke” America. Our enemies abroad, particularly China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, are watching all this woke, comic madness with absolute glee. They are delighted the United States is diverting trillions of dollars and man-hours away from production to ideological witch hunts, woke cannibalism, green virtue-signaling, spendthrift… Continue reading He’s right, of course: “woke” is a lie from start to finish

Is this the most over-the-top fight scene ever?

  The Telugu action movie RRR is the latest thing out of India, and it’s making waves in this country too after Netflix bought the US broadcast rights.  I think this fight scene is perhaps the weirdest and most over-the-top I’ve ever seen! It’s not the only over-the-top scene, either.  How about this dance number?… Continue reading Is this the most over-the-top fight scene ever?

Why are so many vegetarians/vegans so militant?

  I was driven to ask this question by an article in the Telegraph in London. An award-winning cafe has at hit out at “holier-than-thou” vegan customers saying they shouldn’t have to adapt their menu to “suit” customers who don’t eat animal products. The Kitchen at London House on the Isle of Wight went online… Continue reading Why are so many vegetarians/vegans so militant?

The amoral violence and blind outrage is mind-boggling

  I give you four newspaper articles from this week, with key facts from each. Brooklyn McDonald’s employee shot in face after arguing with customer The 23-year-old was working in the fast food restaurant at 1531 Fulton St. in Bed-Stuy when he got into an argument with a female customer inside the eatery around 7… Continue reading The amoral violence and blind outrage is mind-boggling

Why, precisely?

  I nearly spat a mouthful of supper all over my computer screen yesterday evening when I learned that Star Wars “fans” (if such idiots can truly be described as “fans”) are molesting themselves and the series with utterly gormless speculation.  I give you two headlines (no, I’m not going to quote from the articles,… Continue reading Why, precisely?

Whackadoodle, much? Florida Man strikes again!

  I had to laugh at this report. A Florida man has been arrested after he was accused of stealing a pickup truck and driving to a Space Force base to warn the government about extraterrestrial and mythical creatures. Corey Johnson, 29, was arrested Friday at Patrick Space Force Base by local deputies after he… Continue reading Whackadoodle, much? Florida Man strikes again!

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 . . .

Climate change theory meets hard reality: the assault on fertilizers

  We’ve seen how, over the past several decades, “global warming” or “climate change” have become buzzwords for increasing attempts to regulate and control human behavior.  It used to be that proponents of a given philosophy or way of life would seek to be elected to office, then use that office to implement their plans… Continue reading Climate change theory meets hard reality: the assault on fertilizers
