News Roundup

I love that ad… but let’s get serious, now.


...yeah, right.  Okay, okay… I’ll make my breakfast gins singles instead of doubles.  But what with the current news and such, I hope I’m not making a mistake.


...only one third?  Survey was probably conducted in Boston.


...can San Patricio Day be far away?  I thought Cinco de Mayo was sufficient to get shitfaced. 

And tangentially speaking of drunken idiots:


...taking a leaf from the gun control playbook:  we should ban cars.  Or women.

Some Political News:


...or dangling from a noose, or turning on a spit, or impaled on a spike… there are so many delightful options.


...considering all the inside information they have, that’s a piss-poor result.


...I see that almost all the big accounting firms are laying off staff, which is a Good Thing.  Fewer accountants = more business creativity.


And on the same topic:


...all well and good.  However, I think he should be made to do the sweeping without wearing his artificial legs.

And speaking of murderous assholes:


...key word:  Russia  India  Florida  actually,  Mexico.  You know:  the country where it’s really difficult for ordinary people to get guns.


And another resignation:


took him long enough.  NEXT! — and maybe I’ll reconsider rejoining, once I see that his successor isn’t more of the same thing.

A tale of woe:


...should have just taken her to Canada, they’d have whacked her without a second thought, no muss no fuss.  Of course, you’d have had to wait two years for a hospital bed


...guy once knocked out a chick by wildly swinging his dick around and smacking her upside the head.  Manly-manly stuff.

Now for more (but oh-so link-free) INSIGNIFICA:


Never mind road signs;  this is going to become a News Roundup department, e.g.:

…also, men:

But pics, oh you want pics [sigh].  Okay.


...so heeeeeerrrre’s Casey, post-140:

And the earlier version:

I should point out that young Casey has apparently had three boob reduction jobs, each one after popping a sprog… but apparently, those puppies just grow back when she gets Teh Preggers.  I have no idea if that is true, but who cares?

And that’s it for the news.

  1. Dry January is an idea just as bad as light beer, non alcoholic beer, decaf coffee, Democrats, socialism, totalitarianism of any flavor, ranch dressing, you get the idea.

    One huge difference between the Micks and the Hispanics is that we didn’t have to press 2 on the phone to continue in Gaelic.

    The only things wrong about Claudine Gay getting fired is that she’ll have a job immediately, likely with a raise as well, and secondly her removal took far, far too long. Same for LaPierre.

    Speaking of LaPierre, I’ve casually followed the show trial in NY regarding the NRA. The judge could dissolve the current board of directors and appoint replacements. Could the NY Judge do that an appoint folks like Michael Bloomberg and Shannon Watts to the Board of Directors of the NRA?

    The woman featured at the end is quite easy on the eyes.

  2. ‘PwC bans staff from flying business class to cut carbon footprint’
    I may have missed some detail here but – someone or several ‘someones’ at this company actually believes that flying in a different seat affects the amount of ‘pollution’ created by the aircraft ???????????????????
    Please tell me that this was tongue in cheek !! NO ONE is that damn stupid or if they are they should be CAREFULLY supervised around the clock !
    The aircraft has no idea where you sit. Where you sit does not affect the weight of the aircraft which determines fuel consumption.
    We truly are doomed. Finish your bucket list(s). Have your last gin ( double for Kim ! ) and wait – it’s coming. There is no hope of correcting or recovering to any appreciable degree from this depth of decades of ‘dumbing down’ !!
    I try to avoid ridiculing or looking down upon anyone who seems to be a bit less blessed than some or most of us but this is beyond belief or understanding. How in the name of rampaging hamsters do these people GET to these positions ??

    1. From an inside source at PwC, I learned that what they’re actually trying to do is cut back on all business travel, not business-class tickets.

      Which means that the headline is incorrect — really? an incorrect headline? UN-possible!

  3. WLP resigning is looooong overdue. After funneling millions of $$$$ into his own pockets, and his cronies. For years if the NRA did anything good it was an accident rather than anything planned.

    I attended the same University at the same time his interim replacement Andrew Aroulandam (sp) did, I did not know him well, but he was a good guy back in the day. However Washington has changed more good guys, than good guys have changed Washington. And if he was worth a damn he probably wouldn’t have lasted this long at the NRA.

  4. Also in regard to Plagiarism, I had University prof’s who thought it was A-Ok for you to walk into a store and help yourself to whatever, without paying. But treated Plagiarism as a serious offence. Because in the first example you’re stealing from someone else, in the second you’re stealing from a Prof.

  5. Concerning Ms. Casey Batchelor and her supposed breast reductions; if true, her only other option would seem to have been get a h=whole body Holstein tattoo, and start marketing dairy products.
