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.

News Roundup

Let’s start off with some Election News:


...kinda like the conservative Supreme Court guys were over the abortion thing, huh?  Sauce, goose, gander, etc., you fucking Commie cow.


...yeah, they’ve been “trending Republican” since the 1990s, and yet somehow they always keep sending Democrats to the White House and Congress.  Consider me unconvinced.

In related Political News:


...is it so wrong to be envious of the Argies, for once?


...never a Covid death when you really want one.  And speaking of disgusting Commies…


...when you’re running huge deficits, you’ll harvest extra revenue from anywhere.


...hate to break it to you, Ed, but Portland is Third World.

From the Animal Kingdom:


...key word:  Australia.


...see previous item.

News from the Muslim Assholes Dept.:


...ah yes, the Religion of Peace strikes again.  Also, they lie:


...they’ve been taking lessons from Bill Clinton.

Time for some better Sex News:


...the only surprise is that he was fired at all.
#LiberalCollege


...wait:  Dolly Parton has always been in an open marriage, and I’m only finding out about this now?

And in more Showbiz News:


...the poor, poor man;  how much more suffering must he endure for his art?

In (link-free) INSIGNIFICA:

 

Finally, let’s look at what I’m calling the Edible Eighties:

Donna Mills (82):

Linda Gray (80):

Martha Stewart (81):

…and especially Martha:




…that’s her “JBF” look.  Pity the fool…

And that’s all the old news for today.

True Confession

I was going to do one of those retrospective lists about 2023 — you know, like Dave Barry’s funny take — about “10 Best” or “10 Worst” whatever.

Couldn’t.

In the first place, I couldn’t find a single entry for the “10 Best” — everybody sucked, there are no heroes, and they’re all out to get us.

Okay, maybe this guy:


…but he’s just one guy, and he’s way the hell away in Argentina and not in Washington D.C. where he really belongs.

As for the “10 Worst”… fuck me, where does one even begin?  As Insty so often puts it, I’d need a bigger blog, and trying to whittle down the list of 2023 awfuls to only ten (!!!) would likely take me most of 2024.

Good grief, I could do a 10 Worst People just by listing some perennial Golden Oldies:  Hillary Bitch Clinton and her husband Pedo Bill, Nazi George Soros, Chuck Schumer, Barack The Token, etc. etc.  You get my drift.

But trying to identify the newcomer assholes… sheesh, once again:  where does one even begin?  Hell, some of the Oldies from days of yore wouldn’t even feature today, given that finding the current worst is like trying to identify which rabid raccoon out of the pack of fifty you encounter in a forest is the most dangerous.  They’re all malevolent, all evil, and they’re coming at us from all directions.

As for events:  Ukraine (ongoing), Gaza (new entry), California (ongoing)… see where I’m going with this?

So, no.  No humorous retrospective this year, because frankly, everything and everybody in 2023 just flat-out sucked.  There were no rays of sunshine, no reasons for hope, no worthy heroes, too many assholes and the sooner I can forget about last year, the better.

Feel free to disagree with me in Comments, but be warned that you’d better bring your A-game.

To make us all feel better, here’s a picture of Markie Post:

News Roundup

First Roundup of 2024.  Try to contain your excitement…

And off we go:


...which is as it should be, and not just in Brazil.  Can’t see the problem, myself.

And in Global Warming Climate Cooling Change© News:


...come on, Al, you can do better than that.  Why not five billion?


...they don’t work if there’s no wind, they break if there’s too much wind.  Fucking Goldilocks machines.

From the Waste Of Time Department:


...Susan who?  Is she still alive and fucking things up in Congress on behalf of the Downeasters?  And on a related topic:


...this is what you get when you prevent law-abiding Irish citizens of the non-IRA persuasion from having their own guns:  they have to use steak knives.


...and can White people in New York defend themselves with guns?  Don’t be silly;  they can’t even use steak knives because of the No Pointy Stabbing Stuff Law of 1973.


...never trusted them damn Commanches anyway.



...could have been worse;  he could have used it for a legitimate purpose, e.g. buying some trannielit for a third-grade class.


...way I see it, Christmas Day for murderers should be when they’re excused their daily scourging, let alone getting a fucking “festive dinner”.

In International News:


...expect our own socialists to send observers down there to see how they do it.


...longest ever recorded, so far.  And to make it truly international:

(same principle)


...fucking scientists are always pissing in someone’s soup.

And in similar INSIGNIFICA:

And finally, in TV Actresses You’ve Never Heard Of News:


…here she is as a youngin:

 

And here she is today, at age 40 in the aforementioned bikini:

Weeny or MILFy?  I report, you decide.
