And speaking of evil bitches and their webs:


...it’s difficult to imagine anyone more “dark and dystopian” than this ghastly parody of a woman.

Great Moments of Jurisprudence:


...no shit, Sherlock yer honor.  Also:


...unless she’s skinny and likes to suck dick, I’m somewhat puzzled by this one. And lastly:


...but at least he didn’t call her a fat lesbian — even though in this case, the description fits perfectly.


...they have no Posse Comitatus law in Swedishland, but that seems to be a Good Thing in this instance.


...I’m thinking large amounts of cash, flowers and a roofie… wait, perhaps I misread the headline.


...well, maybe not everyone misses the blustering Green asshole cyclist.

From the Department Of Education:


...gives new meaning to the term “pupil support”, dunnit?


And the part you’ve all been waiting for, INSIGNIFICA:

           ...trust me, you don’t want to go there.  No man should.

Finally, some Showbiz News:


...I report, you decide:

And in daylight:

And that’s all the news that’s fit to mock.

Dot-Mil Idiocy

I know, the title is somewhat redundant, but this beats them all (sent by Reader Tony M., thankee — I think):

After 123 years, the immortal Colt-Browning 1911 pistol has finally left U.S. military service.

The immortal 1911 really has no historical equal. It has been the longest-serving sidearm in U.S. military history. Almost every company in the business of manufacturing handguns today makes some variation of the 1911.

And yet, it’s no longer good enough for our troops?  To continue:

While nothing lasts forever, and while it’s easy to see the logistical advantage in a sidearm that uses the NATO-standard 9x19mm cartridge, it’s a sad day for gun aficionados, especially those of us with a fondness for John Browning’s 1911.

For those of little historical learning, I should point out that the reason that the U.S. Army adopted the Colt 1911 .45 ACP in the first place was that their .38 cartridges (similar to the 9x19mm) just weren’t killing savages efficiently.  But of course, people who make “logistical” choices are seldom the same ones who actually have to shoot people dead.

Never mind:  let our troops use three rounds of 9mm Europellet fired from their German-designed peashooters to do the same job as the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol bullet can do with one.

I’ll just continue to carry my 1911 and be glad of it.

Bah.

Speaking of superstition, here’s the latest from the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© Dept.:



okay:  I’m no fan of this foul broad but even I’m on her side here.  Considering that she was only blowing/shagging her hubby, I don’t see how this qualifies as “prostitution”. [#KillAllGovtLawyers]


...FFS, when she’s not incoherent, she’s moronic.


...and hundreds of DMV employees flock to volunteer for the jobs.
