Quote Of The Day
“Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel has come up with a great way to save lives — he just announced he won’t seek re-election. ” — Mark Simone
It says something that I, an admitted lover of Chicago, have had several second thoughts about visiting the place during the Emanuel Years because of safety concerns.
Shooting Party
Reader Brad sent me this link about bird-hunting in Britishland, with the result that I immediately emailed Mr. Free Market and told him to book me a spot in his hunting party for next year. I don’t care where the shooting takes place; I just want to be there. In fact, as I told Mr. FM, I’ll even schedule Kim’s European Vacation 2019 around those dates.
Here’s Dave Carrie on the topic.
Reader Brad is a total bastard.
History Lesson
Not a bad little pocket history course on South Africa over at Ammo.com.
Telling the Afrikaners to “go home” is a nonsensical statement. They are not Dutch. They do not hold Dutch passports, nor would they at any point have been welcomed back by the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In many regions of South Africa, the Afrikaners have been around longer than the Bantus and have a stronger claim on the land, having purchased it from Khoisans. On the other hand, traditionally Bantu land was conquered from other Bantu tribes or taken by the Bantus from the Khoisans.
Go ahead and read it all — it’s a short piece — and you’ll be well informed on the topic in future.
Solidarity
Apparently, some cartoonist is in trouble for, well, drawing a cartoon (and his newspaper has, quite rightly, stood up for him). Said cartoon, which, like ALL cartoons, exaggerates the target’s features, has caused him to receive a storm of hate mail and even death threats because racism. So in solidarity with Mark Knight and because fuck PC censorship, I’m publishing his cartoon here:
Let the fainting, pearl-clutching and hate mail begin. As for death threats… LOL.
Here are a couple of other Knight cartoons which could have caused a similar response from conservatives, but didn’t (because we have a sense of humor, unlike the Perpetually-Aggrieved).
I love his cartoons of former OzPM, the lefty Welsh-born Julia Gillard:
I can’t wait to see the hate mail from gingers, people with big noses and of course the Sheep-Shaggers.
Shocker
According to figures obtained by London, England’s Sunday Times, an overwhelming 120 of the 134 complaints of sexual attacks at facilities lodged in the island nation between 2017 and 2018 related to incidents taking place in unisex changing rooms.
Like nobody saw that coming…
