Always The Assholes

Driving around this part of north Texas, I often see bumper stickers that proclaim allegiance to FJB, Beto, Teh Planet etc.  (Not that it matters much:  Trump 59%, Biden 41%.)

While I am admittedly  triggered thereby, the trigger just manifests itself into a shake of the head, or maybe even a muttered “What an asshole”, said under my breath.

Why then, when someone who is not of the Leftist persuasion posts up a similar message of support for their side, Lefty assholes are so often triggered into violence and/or property damage?

A 63-year-old leftist from Syracuse, New York, has been arrested in Florida after being accused of keying a pickup truck with a “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker that provoked his ire.

And yeah, he looks like an old retired hippie, quelle surprise.

The only good part of the story — other than him being found out and arrested, that is — is that his wife apparently had a go at him for his stupidity… at having been caught, is my guess, rather than for the deed itself.

Fucking trash.

Okay, Maybe I Am

Ol’ C.W. gives an opinion of Your Humble Narrator:

…or maybe I’m just being overly-sensitive, and he’s talking about that NoRK asshole, and Once And Future POTUS Trump.  (#YesHeIs)

Now I’m not saying I myself wouldn’t do exactly what’s being represented there… okay, I would.

Does that make me as crazy as The Donald?

Train Smash Time

Oh yeah, baby:  it’s that time of year when the Grand National is run at Aintree, and when we can look forward to some Train Smash Women and their antics.

Only, this year?  Not as much fun as usual… so far:


Too many regrettable decisions to count, in that last one.

A couple, it seemed, didn’t get the memo:

…but a lot of others did, and dressed accordingly:

That said, I think these pics were taken mostly in the early morning, before the booze had a chance to do its work.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just that nobody could afford to get wasted.  HFS, look at those prices:

Racegoers will be expected to pay £7.50 for draught beers (not including Guinness) and ciders, while a 330ml can could cost up to £7.

Meanwhile, a single serving of wine is set to cost £9.50 with a full bottle priced at £37.50.

A bottle of Prosecco will set punters back £46 while a bottle of Gobillard Brut Champagne totals a staggering £85.

Cocktails are priced at £13 each, with soft drinks costing £3.20 and a can of water £2.90 itself.

We’ll just have to wait and see.  More to follow.


Update 1:  Okay, despite the cost of booze, that’s a little more Train Smash-y…


And then came… Ladies Day.
