Simple Solution

Gummint, Mocking Furriners, Morons & Idiots

Here’s an interesting development in Britishland.  Apparently, there’s a garbage workers’ strike in Birmingham, and as “Brum” is run by Labour and is a wretched hive of scum and villainy thereby, this is a case of ultra-Lefties arguing with “ordinary” Lefties — you pick which fits best for which — and has left the city streets (never that tidy to begin with) in a state of advanced rat infestation.

So then this came along:

Tories call for Cobra meeting over Birmingham bin strike
The Tories are urging the Deputy Prime Minister to send in private cleaning firms to break the unions’ grip over the rubbish-strewn second city.

The three-week pay dispute has seen detritus pile high in the streets, with residents saying neighbourhoods are plagued by giant rats “as big as cats”.

It centres on a row between the bankrupt Birmingham council, which is Labour run, and the Unite union.

I have no idea what a “Cobra” meeting is, but for one memorable moment, I thought it involved getting all the unionistas  and city councilors into one room, locking all the doors and windows and giving them ten minutes to come to an agreement.  If that failed, then throw a bunch of live cobras into the locked room.

I bet the hapless residents of Birmingham would be the first in line to watch the proceedings on PPV.

Too extreme?  Let’s ask the Brummies to vote on it.

Seen On Campus

Back when I were a callow young student of some fifty-seven summers, I was approached by a professor who wanted to chat with me about the paper I’d just submitted.

He/She* told me that I would have got an A+ for the paper, except that I’d committed the unpardonable offense of using B.C. and A.D. therein instead of (the stupid and unnecessary) B.C.E. and C.E.  All I had to do was re-submit the paper with the terms changed, and I’d get my A+.

“What if I refuse to do that?”  I asked.
“Then you’ll get a C,”  was the response.
“Then give me the C,” was my response.  “And then I’m going to appeal the grade, loudly, especially after you’ve just told me that my work is of A+ standard.”
“You’re refusing to change it?”
“Yes.  And I’m expecting to see an A+ for it, too.”
“Why don’t you just change the terms?”

So I launched into an explanation that was more or less the same as the one that David Marcus published here., stressing, though even an atheist myself, I had to acknowledge the role of the Judeo-Christian influence on our history and culture.  At the end of it, the professor seemed somewhat stunned by what I’d just said.  And I happened to know that this professor, unusually, was actually quite conservative, just by observing the general tenor and terminology used in the lectures.

I ended up getting an A+ for the (unchanged) paper, and for all the rest of the papers** and exams in that professor’s course.

A small victory, perhaps, but for me an important one.

*used not because of their “chosen pronouns”, but because I prefer to keep their identity anonymous.

**For one paper, I got a 100% grade, because my argument was not only irrefutable, but the professor admitted later that it had caused them to rethink their whole position on the topic.  Under those circumstances, clearly, the “BC/BCE” silliness was irrelevant.

As a rule I don’t do pranks or practical jokes of any kind, so you won’t find any April Fool’s Day bullshit on this website today.

Instead, here’s a pic of a beautiful car:

Yeah, they’re all about Italy.

Thatisall.

...that’s dengue fever, transmitted by mosquito bites, it’s been around for centuries, and you’re most likely to catch it if you visit India, Sri Lanka and South America (and don’t use bug repellent).

In the Lawn Order Files:

...as would we all.  Being that this happened in Britishland, he didn’t even say it to the scrotes themselves, but to colleagues during a break.  And being that this was in Britishland, one of his colleagues snitched on him — and being that this was in Britishland, he’s now in trouble.

Men & Women

Once again, we have “Science!” to the rescue.  From a college professor, no less:

“I’ve often heard people argue that men’s love of breasts is just an invention of Western culture, and that there are cultures out there where breasts are no big deal to men.  It’s always struck me as implausible — could Western culture have randomly created a male obsession with women’s elbows or nostrils? I find the new study persuasive. 

“And it also strikes me as a win for common sense over an eccentric academic theory.” 

I hate to tell you this, Perfessor, but common sense almost always kicks eccentric, anti-Western, pro-feminist academic theory’s ass.  (Ask anyone in the real business world about their opinion of college-based economists.)

Anyway, back to the main topic:  men love boobs.  We like looking at them, touching them, kissing them, using them as a pillow, whatever.  ‘Twas always thus, and always will be.  And it doesn’t matter whether we are Western men or Third World tribesmen, either.

That this had to be studied at all is a mystery.  Of greater need for study is why some men prefer small boobs, and others big ‘uns.

To establish some parameters, though, here’s a representative sample.  From modest to  PHWOOAAAARRRR:

I think you get the picture(s).  Feel free to provide your scientific opinions in Comments.
