But before we do that, let’s have a chuckle or two, starting with a DNC summary:
And speaking of the former “Border Czarina”:
Well, I’d hire her.
And an oldie, but still one of my favorites for “Mother Of The Year”:
And to end on one more political vote:
Also, with everywhere (except Texas) about to drift into Fall, some reminders of the past summer:
And in the rear-view mirror, as you head off to find that dozer:
Some pleb has a go at the British class system — a system regarded with bemusement by most Murkins — and while we have few parallels with the Brits, the one we do regrettably share is the propensity of the well-to-do middle class to be involved in stupid shit like the Green movement and (lately) the Free Palestine demonstrations.
It’s a fairly lengthy viewing, but funny as hell — and from what I’ve seen of the system, fairly accurate.
Most telling, though, is the description of the rigidity of the thing: the “bucket of crabs” analogy is very appropriate.
And we have shared the dolorous effects of the “outsourcing” of manufacturing and the jobs therein to foreign countries; the only difference being that our corporations did it without any help from government.
I’ve spoken before of the spectacle that is London’s Notting Hill Carnival (read it first), and apparently this year it’s not too different:
Police have arrested at least 330 people in connection with incidents at the Notting Hill Carnival, the Met said tonight – with three people including a 32-year-old mother left fighting for their lives.
Five people were stabbed today, taking the total across the two days to eight [last year it was nine — K], while three people sustained slash wounds and one incident was said to have involved a corrosive substance.
Nothing says “I Haz My Culture” like tossing acid in someone’s face. As for the rest, same ol’, same ol’. As the rozzers say:
‘We are tired of saying the same words every year’.
Pass.
And on we go, cackling hysterically as we enter another week:
And on that very topic:
Now head out into the Monday sun.
…in which we continue to look at earlier, more innocent times. That said, some of the cartoons below were not so innocent — and probably couldn’t get published today.
Which. of course, is why I’m posting them.
From the H.R. files:
In Medical Ethics:
And in the Groves of Academe:
Another from H.R.:
In Sporting News:
And In Flagrante Delicto:
See you all next month.
Forgot to mention: if you want to see the first couple of these, use the “Search” function at the top of the page and just type: Innocent Times then hit Enter.
The three things a Texas boy likes to see the most?
I don’t know what people from other states enjoy seeing, so feel free to enlighten me.
