Humble Gratitude

I just wanted to thank all those who have contributed to my “Keep Kim From Poverty” fund:  the results from Week 1 have been wonderful, not to mention in some cases astonishing (and you know who you are).

I know this is a PITA, and believe me, I hate asking for help.  But this blog is no longer the site it once was — back in those days, I actually had more discrete readers per day than the Daily Mail — and it pains me that the once-proud “BANG” [Buy (Kim) a New Gun] fund has been reduced to a HKKHLO [Help Kim Keep His Lights On] fund.

But there it is, and here we are.  Please consider supporting this tired old back porch, if you haven’t already.

Reminder

For those who’ve been living on the Planet Zarq and have only recently returned to Earth, or for those with failing memories, let me remind you all of how Othias and Mae’s C&Rsenal has made amateur gun geeks like me completely superfluous (and that is a really good thing).

So if you’re doing nothing special tonight (and over the whole weekend, come to think of it), go there and indulge yourself.

They are absolutely my favorite couple on Teh Intarwebz.

News Roundup

But on a parallel topic:


...in which we play “Guess The Race” of the “suspects”.


...this news item was brought to you by the Loch Ness Tourism Board.

In the That’s How You Do It! Department:


...and the Frogs have the Right Stuff too:


...the only thing missing is a steam roller.


...too bad he didn’t break his wokist neck.


...key word:  India.


...wow:  whoever could have seen that coming?


...he’ll be even more uncomfortable in a jail cell, but at least he won’t be able to open that door.


...but had the sexes been reversed, she’d have got half of £250 million, you betcha.

And as for INSIGNIFICA:


...now as any fule kno, I think Simon Cowell should be executed for Crimes Against Music, but wait… Mezhgan Husseiny?

He was not worthy.  Or newsworthy, for that matter.

A Curious Dichotomy

I read this report about Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover/procurer Ghislaine Maxwell’s problems in jail, and am faced — as the title suggests — with conflicting feelings.

On the one hand, there’s that savage feeling of satisfaction that this daughter of privilege is getting her just deserts for a life of deviancy and enabling, while on the other hand I actually feel some sympathy for her plight, because — let’s be honest — feral Cuban criminals probably shouldn’t be in a minimum-security facility in the first place.

And I still think that Maxwell is just the fall “guy”, the person that the government had to go after because Epstein was unavailable for prosecution by having been murdered in his prison cell.  Somebody had to go to jail for all those girls whose lives were ruined by a bunch of child molestors and their hangers-on (Bills Clinton and Gates, to name but two of many), and in Epstein’s stead was Ghislaine Maxwell.

I still want to learn the names of all the people (okay, mostly men) who were on Epstein’s client list and were frequent fliers on his Molestation Express jet.

But, as someone else said, “they” can’t go after the rapists on that list because “they” are actually the rapists.

I’d love to know the truth of this whole sorry episode, and the reason I’m kinda in Maxwell’s corner is because I know that if she ever looks like uncovering the rapists, she’ll be Epsteined as fast as he was.

Maybe even by “violent Cuban inmates”.
