Could have been worse; it might have been your Dad. Anyway:
Time for some nice stuff to look at:
Get that smile working (I know, it’s hard) and get on with it.

Well, Here We Are
Seems as though the horrible Washington Post has had to pull a cartoon for being, and I quote, “grossly mischaracterizing” and “blatantly mocking the crisis in the Middle East”. Also, “The caricatures employ racial stereotypes that were offensive and disturbing. Depicting Arabs with exaggerated features and portraying women in derogatory, stereotypical roles perpetuates racism and gender bias, which is wholly unacceptable.”
So what’s all the fuss about? If the Post can’t publish it, I sure as hell can:
So if Ramirez had made the spokesman look like Owen Wilson and the cowering woman was wearing a bikini, then everything would be okay?
And the terrorists do exactly what the cartoon shows: hide behind women and children, then scream bloody murder when the women and children are harmed.
Feel free to explain to me exactly what is inaccurate in the above.
Oh and by the way, for those who are Perpetually Indignant, cartoons are supposed to shock and surprise people.
And fuck you.
Unsurprising
Now I’m not saying I approve of this guy’s solution to an obstruction in the road.
But I do understand it. I don’t know where ideologues get this idea that they can mess with people’s lives and livelihoods just because The Cause Is Just. I recall watching these self-righteous tits pulling a similar stunt in Britishland — and stopping an ambulance from carrying an injured person to hospital.
Clearly, to them The Cause is more important than a human life. So if someone decides that their ability to go about their business without being obstructed, heckled and in some cases attacked is more important than a human life (as Our Hero did in the above article), then the “protesters” have little to protest about when that circumstance includes their lives.
I see that our hot-headed gunman has been arrested and is facing trial. I bet he had a really good reason to whack a couple of the Smellies I mean Passionate Protesters. And if he did, and gets released without being charged, no doubt the streets will be filled with hordes of the Perpetually Indignant protesting that.
What a fucking circus (Latin for “round”) we have here.
I think I’ll spend a little time at the range today. Just because.
Train Smash Down Under
In any Train Smash Women competition, the race is only for second place if Strine women are included, and this year’s Melbourne Cup was no exception:
As the inimitable Mr. Free Market once put it: “Dear God. No wonder Australian men drink so much.”
No man should. But some do:
When A Fly Falls Into A Cup Of Coffee
Sent to me by Tribe Buddy Mervyn:
Italian – throws the cup, breaks it, and walks away in a fit of rage.
German – tosses out the coffee, carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.
Frenchman – takes out the fly, and drinks the coffee.
Chinese – eats the fly and throws away the coffee.
Russian – drinks the coffee with the fly, since it was extra with no charge.
Israeli – sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea, and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.
Hamas Terrorist – blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act of aggression to the UN, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, the Frenchman, the Chinese, the German and the Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give away his cup of coffee to the Palestinians so there will be peace.
Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
